I'm excited to share another take on the Lazy Days Skirt today. This time around, I've put together a bold and colorful striped version that reminds me a lot of the 10-stripe Fairy Tale Dress. For this project, I've created two variations of the same skirt design. The first version features a double-thickness hem, while the second option uses a standard hem. In both cases, the three stripes incorporated into the skirt are designed to have approximately equal widths.
This skirt is incredibly versatile when it comes to color choices. You can experiment with a wide range of combinations—how about going for something classic like black, white, and black again? Or maybe try an ombre effect for a more gradient look? There’s so much room for creativity here!
To get started, I'll provide the measurements you’ll need for each stripe. Begin by sewing the stripes together with a half-inch seam allowance. This step is a great chance to practice French seams, ensuring that the inside of your skirt looks just as polished as the outside. After that, sew up the side seams and complete the hem. For reference, the two linen skirts I made were both 18 inches long, using fabric that was 44 inches wide.
### Fabric Length Algebra
Let X represent the length of your finished skirt in inches.
**Note:** All measurements in the chart below are rounded to the nearest eighth of an inch.
#### Double-Thickness Hem Version
For this version, you’ll need the following lengths for the stripes:
- **Top stripe**: X/3 + 2
- **Middle stripe**: X/3 + 1
- **Bottom stripe**: (2/3)X + 1
| Finished Skirt Length (in.) | Top Stripe Length (in.) | Middle Stripe Length (in.) | Bottom Stripe Length (in.) |
|-----------------------------|-------------------------|----------------------------|----------------------------|
| 12 | 6 | 5 | 9 |
| 13 | 6 3/8 | 5 3/8 | 9 5/8 |
| 14 | 6 5/8 | 5 5/8 | 10 3/8 |
| 15 | 7 | 6 | 11 |
| 16 | 7 3/8 | 6 3/8 | 11 5/8 |
| 17 | 7 5/8 | 6 5/8 | 12 3/8 |
| 18 | 8 | 7 | 13 |
#### Regular Hem Version
For the regular hem version, fold and press the fabric twice at half-inch intervals before stitching. You’ll need these measurements:
- **Top stripe**: X/3 + 2
- **Middle stripe**: X/3 + 1
- **Bottom stripe**: X/3 + 1.5
| Finished Skirt Length (in.) | Top Stripe Length (in.) | Middle Stripe Length (in.) | Bottom Stripe Length (in.) |
|-----------------------------|-------------------------|----------------------------|----------------------------|
| 12 | 6 | 5 | 5 1/2 |
| 13 | 6 3/8 | 5 3/8 | 5 7/8 |
| 14 | 6 5/8 | 5 5/8 | 6 1/8 |
| 15 | 7 | 6 | 6 1/2 |
| 16 | 7 3/8 | 6 3/8 | 6 7/8 |
| 17 | 7 5/8 | 6 5/8 | 7 1/8 |
| 18 | 8 | 7 | 7 1/2 |
If you decide to make this three-stripe Lazy Days Skirt, we’d love to see your creation! Please feel free to share photos in the Flickr group. It’s always inspiring to see what everyone else is working on.
