Give your kids the gift of creativity. Allow them to create their own fashion skirt by mixing and matching colorful fabric patterns and textures onto an adjustable waistband. It's easy to make, comes in a wide variety of styles and is the perfect activity for young fashionistas!

How It Works
This do-it-yourself fashion craft is designed to unleash creativity in kids and adults. Each starter set comes with everything you need to make a fashionable skirt:
-
1 elastic SkirDIY waistband
-
3 sets (8 pieces each) of coordinating cotton fabric strips
-
1 set (8 pieces) of "special" fabric strips, like glitter tulle or chiffon
-
1 set (8 pieces) of "embellishments," such as coordinating ribbon or rick rack
Simply mix and match your SkirDIY strips onto the adjustable waistband. We will continuously come out with new colors and patterns so there's no limit to what you can make, or match!
Kids become instant fashionistas and parents feel good letting their littles unleash their creativity - no glue required!
The Plan for SkirDIY, Inc.
With your support, we'll transform SkirDIY from a home-sewn idea into a retail product that will be available for purchase online, in select boutiques and maybe someday in national retailers.
I'm currently consulting with clothing design, packaging and manufacturing companies. To follow the SkirDIY journey, follow us on Instagram @SkirDIY.
Looking ahead, my goal is to build a family-friendly business "with heart" that gives parents the flexibility they need to raise their families while feeling good about the contributions they make professionally. Over time, we will grow our team with a focus on our mission to unleash creativity in kids and adults.
When SkirDIY begins making a profit, a portion of every purchase will go back into the community.
Hi, I'm Heather, the creator of SkirDIY. I'm a working mom doing my best to balance a full-time career (I love) as a marketing professional, exciting life adventures, and a raising family.
The idea for the SkirDIY literally came to me in a dream while I was on maternity leave in late 2015. After making a fabric skirt for my daughter's monthly snapshots and completing several Pinterest-inspired sewing projects, a good friend of mine asked if I would make a skirt for her daughter's birthday. Her request got me thinking and — voila! — the SkirDIY was created.
Now I'm on the journey to transform my (literal) dream into a retail product that moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents and caregivers who value creativity and good fun can gift the aspiring fashionistas in their lives.
