Come join us having fun making lacy layered Rocky skirts with our grandmas girls!
We need a piece of elastic 1-1/2 inch wide the length of her waist plus 1 inch
lining fabric 1-1/2 times the length of the elastic and 3/4 inch longer than you want the skirt to be.
a piece of lace fabric as large as the lining fabric

Using a basting stitch, we stitch along one long edge of the lining fabric 1/2 inch from the edge. Then we do this again 1/4 inch away, so that we have 2 rows of thread in case one breaks when we pull it.
We do the same to the lace fabric.

We pull up the thread on the lace until the lace is the same length as the elastic. Then we pin the lace to the elastic, being careful that the lace is pretty evenly distributed along the elastic.
We sew the lace to the elastic with a long zigzag stitch close to the edge of the elastic.
Now we sew the back seam closed.Whew!

We sew the back seam of the lining closed, them pin it to the elastic and sew this with a large zigzag stitch close to the seam of the lace.
Turn under the hem of the lining 1/4 inch and sew it up.
Try on your skirt! Pin a piece of the lace up in front over your knee or wherever you want it to go! Sew it in place.
Sew a flower or bow on that spot, and here we are! A beautiful lace skirt designed and made by your own Grandmas girl! Isn't it fun working together this way!
