Plus I have the 3 girls skirts cut out and will hopefully have enough to also make shorts for the little boys.

Thanks
I was thinking a yard in each and then if it shrinks when I prewash I will be good to go. |

I found a different tut of the same skirt. It made sense to me this time and WOW is it easy. I think I am going to be getting some fabric!

Thanks for all the compliments
 I stayed up way to late tonight finishing these 3 skirts. It has been a while since I have done any sewing so I made a couple of mistakes and remembered "Ahh, that's how I am supposed to do that  ." I will have the girls try them on tomorrow so I can finish the waist. Also I top stitched the edges (after I took the pic of mine) for a cleaner look.  |
