Make Your Own Maxi

I had so much fun making these Maxi skirts and the dress, and I was really surprised at how easy it was. I never confess to being a seamstress. In fact, I probably shouldn’t even own a sewing machine! With that being said, I thought this dress and skirts were such an easy thing to do,

I can’t wait to make a few more for the summer. Make Your Own Maxi. They are super light and breezy, and a perfect cover-up for the pool or beach. You can find several tutorials on Pinterest for these, but I thought this was the easiest. Here are a few diagrams I did for you to show you the steps. Super easy and quick!

Very quick and easy! I think each one took me about 30 – 45 minutes tops. As a non-seamstress person who (dangerously) owns a sewing machine, I kind of liking doing this!!

I think I can see making a few more of these in my future! What do you think about the contrasting white bands rather than using the same Chevron print for the band? I kind of like the change up…what do you think?

I really like the feel of the dress. The material is so light and breezy, you don’t feel like you are suffocating in the heat all covered up.

I can be easily intimidated by the sewing machine sometimes. The more I use it, the more I enjoy it and love what I can create. It’s so much fun to make things your self, and the money you save is a bonus as well!

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy tutorial, if you like it, PIN it! Make sure to follow my boards on Pinterest to see what I have been up to lately!  Let me know if you found this Make Your Own Maxi tutorial helpful!
