I am making my granddaughter a Maxi skirt with a bias ruffle. Can someone tell me how to cut this out? I may want to just make a flounce and need help with that too. Thank you in advance. Sheri Wright

To make a bias ruffle you need to cut the fabric on a bias or a 45 degree angle. Depending on the fabric it will not need to be hemmed because bias frays very little. There is a way of cutting the fabric and sewing it so you can cut in one continuous strip. I can't possibly explain that but I'll bet you could google "cutting continous bias strip" or something and finda video of it.
A flounce is cut in a circular pattern. Decide how wide out want the flounce and draw it in a spiraling pattern. It can be trickly to draw. I would start on paper.
