Layer upon layer
Skirt made of round knitted fabric and multi-colored suede for cowboy's girlfriend.
Sizes 34−42.
Skirt length 45 cm.

You will need:
A circular knitted fabric in a rubber band 0.90 m wide, folded in half, 35 cm; elastic tape 2 cm wide and a length equal to the waist circumference plus 3 cm; suede 5 different colors in approx. 40 x 65 cm; circular knife and substrate (Prym); threads for sewing.
Description of work:
Fold the circular knitted fabric in half to a length of 45 cm = skirt length. Stitch the ends of the elastic tape. Insert the elastic tape between the layers of the knitted fabric along the upper bend and lay a stitch 2.5 cm below the bend. From the suede of each color, cut out 2 rectangles of approx. 65 x 20 cm. On the side of one of the longitudinal sections, cut a rectangle with a fringe using a circular knife (the length of a single element is about 16 cm, width - 1 cm). Pull the skirt over the mannequin or put on the mannequin. Pin suede strips with fringe to the skirt from the bottom up straight or diagonally, while the fringe protrudes beyond the lower edge of the skirt for a length of approx. 6 cm. Top sections of fringe strips with a zigzag stitch, stitching a knitted skirt.
