Fifty Two Acts is a blog described by it’s author thusly:
The project, 52 Acts, is the creative component of my Doctor of Creative Arts program. The program is designed to answer the question: ‘how can cyberfeminism practice and Web 2.0 applications be used to recode gendered representations of women on the Internet?’

How to make a bias cut skirt with wide stretch waistband
This tutorial will show how to make a bias cut a-line style skirt, with a wide stretch waistband, using fabric and a recycled t-shirt. This is how I make all my skirts.

The a-line shape is flattering to most body types and suitable for all sizes.
