1. Fitted Jersey
Handmade summer skirts don't always mean flowy and Bohemian-like. Sometimes, a good fitted skirt will serve your sartorial needs during a warm day, too. Said type of skirt will be particularly nice when made of soft cotton jersey.
2. Mullet
These types of skirts became quite popular last year. You can still rock them today, of course. As you can see, making a mullet skirt is very easy. A thrifted long maxi skirt will be a great “base” for this project.
Frequently asked questions
3. Side Gathered Maxi
How hot is this? This would look quite sexy used as a bikini cover-up. And if another stylish lady at the beach asked you where you got your skirt, you'll feel rightly smug saying that you made it yourself.
4. Lazy Days
We can't have a list of DIY summer skirts without including projects for stylish little ladies, can we? To make a little girl's summer more fashionable, you can make this easy DIY skirt for her. The best part here is the contrast ribbon by the hem.

6. Full and Gathered
This is one of my more recent sewing tutorials. I promise you that this is a very easy sewing project. In fact, in essence, you will be needing only two rectangular pieces, a long fabric strip, and pocket pieces to make this skirt. I suggest that you use a fabric with loud and colorful prints.
7. Anthro-Inspired
Don't you just love the ruffled detailing here? They're pretty yes, but they're not the best part of this skirt. The best part is that this whole project was inspired by an Anthropologie product. Their items are usually quite pricey so this tutorial by Amber is all sorts of fantastic.
8. Hemless
If you hate hemming by hand, you will find this sewing project fun and appealing. The hem section here is finished using a contrasting band and attached with the help of a sewing machine. This bottom band gives your skirt a lovely visual interest.
9. Scarf Wrap
This DIY skirt idea is great for the beach, too. Aside from being beach-perfect, it's also very easy to do. You simply attach elastic to one side of a pretty scarf and wear like a wrap-around piece of clothing. Fun, right?
