FREE Origami Fan Skirt sewing tutorial & pattern (any size)
This Origami fan skirt was named due to its construction technique. Basically, you take a rectangle and fold it until it resembles a fan shape. Very easy to make and a lot of fun if you are a fan of the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures. Now, you can use the technic to make a skirt. Pretty amazing, right?
The ancient Japanese method is used to make this skirt. The method should work for any size, both for a child or an adult. That means you can make matching skirts for you and for your daughter! It can be quite difficult to find store-bought matching outfits, but with this tutorial, it will be a breeze to make one!
You can make this skirt any length you choose. The creator of this pattern chose to show us a knee-length skirt. But, you can also make it mini or maxi with just adding more, or less fabric.
