## How to Make a Kitchen Sink Skirt
A sink skirt is a decorative fabric panel that hangs from the underside of your kitchen sink. It can add a touch of style and sophistication to your kitchen, and it can also help to hide any unsightly plumbing or storage items. Making a sink skirt is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours.
### Materials
* Fabric: You will need approximately 1 yard of fabric for a standard size sink skirt. Choose a fabric that is durable and easy to clean, such as cotton or linen.
* Measuring tape or ruler
* Scissors
* Iron and ironing board
* Sewing machine and thread
* Velcro or fabric glue
### Instructions
1. Measure the length of your sink from front to back and from side to side. Add 6 inches to each measurement to allow for overlap and seam allowances. Cut two pieces of fabric to these measurements.
2. Fold the raw edges of the fabric over by 1 inch and press. Fold over again by 1 inch and press again. Sew a narrow hem along the folded edges.
3. Lay the two pieces of fabric on top of each other, right sides together. Sew around the edges of the fabric, leaving a 4-inch opening along one side for turning.
4. Turn the sink skirt right side out and press. Fold the raw edges of the opening inward by 1 inch and press. Sew the opening closed.
5. Measure and cut a piece of Velcro or fabric glue to the length of the top edge of the sink skirt. Attach the Velcro or fabric glue to the sink skirt, making sure that it is centered.
6. Attach the other side of the Velcro or fabric glue to the underside of the sink.
### Tips
* If you are using a patterned fabric, be sure to center the pattern on the sink skirt.
* You can add a decorative trim to the bottom edge of the sink skirt, such as lace or ribbon.
* If you want to make a removable sink skirt, you can attach the Velcro or fabric glue to a piece of wood or plastic that is the same size as the top edge of the sink skirt. This will allow you to easily remove the sink skirt for cleaning or replacement.
### Conclusion
Making a kitchen sink skirt is a simple and inexpensive way to add style and functionality to your kitchen. With a little bit of time and effort, you can create a custom sink skirt that will perfectly complement your décor.
