So a Hobo Skirt is so called because you gather up any and all bits of fabric you have stashed away and lying around, sew them all together to form one piece of fabric, apply your favorite skirt pattern and away you go.

Now this is not an easy project to do with young children, so taking inspiration from this “no sew tutu”  from www.skiptomylou.org , we put the two together and came up with these “no sew hobo skirts”.

The girls had a great time cutting the material into strips then spent a very concentrated hour and a half tying the fabric around the elastic,

and when that was all done, they had even more fun running around the garden, jumping on the trampoline and spinning in circles.
