I had a remaining piece of ‘ankara’ fabric which I decided to make use of it by making a skirt. Below is a step by step guide on how to make ‘ankara’ print skirt.
For this DIY you will need: A piece of fabric of your choice, one of your skirt for pattern, zipper, sewing pins, scissors, chalk/pencil, sewing machine or thread & needle
- Place the fabric on a table or flat surface.
- Fold the fabric in half
- Place the skirt on top of the folded fabric to get the skirt pattern
- Mark the pattern using a piece of chalk or pencil
- Cut out the fabric according to the pattern and start sewing
- Pin the zipper to the back of the skirt (I wanted my zipper to show that’s why I placed it outside the skirt)

- Open the zipper and cut the centre of it (This step can be down before or after you have sewn the zipper)
- Sew the zipper
- Your skirt is ready to wear.
