Flannelette Tiered Skirt Pattern v2 (and steps)

Last year, I made a pink tiered skirt with my puppy out of a flannelette bed sheet from Big W, which I love. This year, they sold flannelette bed sheets in my favourite colour – blue.

So I decided to make another skirt with just one difference; it’s a bit less frilly so the floral pattern can be seen better when worn.

Sewing pattern

Here’s the pattern for the new blue tiered skirt. Compared to the pink one, the hem is 40cm less wide in total circumference, but it still maintains the x1.5 ratio from row to row.

The reason I decided to make it slightly less frilly this time is because this fabric is pretty heavy and the floral pattern gets hidden away in between the gathers when there’s too much volume.

How to make

The steps to making this was exactly the same as my previous post below. In fact, I followed it myself since I forgot some of the details!

Here’s an overview of the steps covered in the above post:

Complete!

Here’s the finished 3-tier gathered skirt with an elastic waist band, big pockets, and rolled edge hem – made from a flannelette bed sheet!

The blue skirt with less volume looks less bunched up than the pink one when standing straight, and the floral pattern shows up better. I love them both though 😊

They’re my go-to skirts even in winter because I can wear warm trakkie pants underneath (like I am in the blue skirt photo). Also, the pockets feel so secure, because the fabric is pretty sturdy; I feel nothing when I drop my smart phone inside!
