I’m in a dance troupe and in need of a 25-yard, tiered skirt- I’m also strapped for cash and buying one of these skirts online (or anywhere else it seems) would put me AT LEAST $100 in the hole!

I’m looking for EASY instructions on how to actually sew one of these behemoths! (note- I know that gathering can be done via machine and by hand and I do not have the right “foot” for gathering on my sewing machine so I would need to find out how to gather without a “foot”)

All I know is that a soft cotton like gauze fabric seems to be recommended the most.

Thanks everyone! (any other sewing tidbits would be most appreciated!)

PS- I find the patterns online that are only written instructions EXTREMELY intimidating and frustrating as I am a visual kind of person.
