During winter I always hike in tights but if it’s really cold my butt is freezing. So I wanted something simple to put on. This skirt is really cosy and nifty. It got one of my preferred winter pieces. I recommend it as well for biking.
Sorry guys, no warm butt for you. Or maybe you’re bold enough? 🙂
You need (Size M):
- 40×130 cm of stretchy fleece 260g/m2, I recommend a wind resistant and smooth outside (polartec)
- 2x 5×5 cm of the same fleece for the button reinforcement
- 1x 5×5 cm strong cotton or denim for the button reinforcement
- 1 press button
Costs: 6 €
Weight: 131g (4,6 oz)

Sorry Cinthia, what I need desperately is time, not money :-). But if you chose a good material, you can even make it without the seam, so that means cut out, button, ready.

Thanks for mentioning my favorite piece of winter hiking wardrobe! Next time I would definitely work with two press buttons (another one on the inside).
When winter comes I’ll try a new model and post it (:

I hope this gets through… love the skirt and think I could handle the dyi. Any chance you have written instructions somewhere, dimensions, etc.??
I would do much better with directions to follow.

Hi Sherry, no, I’m sorry, as I did it myself. You have the measures in the article, they are for European size 38. So maybe you will have to adapt them. It is a bit more than 1,5 times your hip circumference. The instructions would be: Cut out, seam the seams, get the button in as shown in the pictures.

I’m so excited to try this! I need a ski skirt. Did you ever try it with the two snaps? Do you think velcro would work?

I tried it with velcro, but if you cross velcro with woolen scarfs or sweaters there’s a lot of fluff sticking in it. If you don’t mind, that’s cool, too!

Thanks, sorry for my two messages. I was having trouble with WordPress. I might try a 2-layer wrap of polar fleece lining with nylon exterior so that the velcro wouldn’t stick to the fleece. While the wrap is less stretchy with a nylon cover, the velcro offers some give.

It is sticky, it just collects fluff from everywhere, but it does work 🙂
