In the picture at right, View 1 is the lower skirt and View 2 is the upper skirt. Use a rotary cutter, mat and a good ruler with a 45 degree mark. Unless you plan to line your skirt, finish seams by serging or zigzagging. Decide your color arrangement, keeping in mind that the background should contrast. Use gradated or watercolor fabrics for a really dramatic effect.
Diagrams are below.
