How to Make a Drill Team Skirt




This weekend Carol Nicholls Lebrecht invited her sister, Cathy, and I to come over and go to the state fair (see photos), enjoy her beautiful new pool and work on our alumni drill team skirts and what a great time we had!! Below is Carol's email with photos on how to make a drill team skirt - thanks Carol and Cathy!!

Hi Cathy,

How to make a drill team skirt.

Here we are trying to figure out how we are going to go about making a skirt. This tiny sample skirt just won't do..............



Lets make a pattern first, and then we can use it to cut out the skirt.



Here is Cathy modeling the pattern. Whoops! The hemline is a little crooked.

















Then to iron the material to get it ready for cutting, pinning the pattern on the skirt material and cutting the skirt out.



Yes, this looks a lot better. The team work really paid off. Now all we need to do is put the waistband on and hem it. Shall we March?
