The simplest skirt is the peasant skirt. Just cut the fabric the length you want the skirt plus four inches. Assuming a 45" fabric, sew the two selvage edges together.

Turn down the top 1/2 inch, then an additional one inch. and sew all around the waist. Leave a small opening to insert elastic. Cut elastic your waist measurement plus two inches. Insert into the top you have sewn. The sew the two ends of the elastic together.

Now add a two inch hem and you are done.

How do you make a skirt for your webkinz?

You can't 'make' skirts for webkinz. You buy them. Answer: Although you can't make clothes for online webkinz, you can certainly sew them. Measure the waist of your pet. Add 1/3 to 1/4 of that measurement again (depending on how full you want the skirt). Measure from the waist to the point where you want the skirt to end. Add an inch. Cut a rectangle with these two measurements. Fold over the waist side 1/2 inch and sew it down. (The ugly side should be inside the folded part.) Don't sew across the ends! Put the two short sides together. Sew, but don't close off those ends. (If your webkinz has a tail, leave a space in this seam for it to pull through.) Now you can put 3/8" elastic through the tunnel you made. Try it on the Webkinz. Adjust to fit. Sew the two ends of the elastic together. Hand sew the opening shut. Put a hem along the bottom of the skirt, and you're done.
