You Will Need (2 things)

  • A Few Strips Of Fabric
  • & Some Elastic

Steps (7 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    FIRST MEASURE AROUND YOUR BOTTOM & YOUR THIGHS AS THIS WILL BE THE WIDEST PART

    THEN CUT YOUR MIDDLE STRIP

    BASED ON A SIZE UK 10 MY MEASUREMENTS ARE 12 INC IN LENGTH & 39 IN WIDTH

    YOU CAN USE ANY FABRIC YOU LIKE!

  2. 2

    NEXT YOU NEED TO CUT YOUR WAIST & HEM STRIPS

    I FIND LYCRA TYPE FABRICS WORK BEST FOR THE WAIST & HEM STRIPS

    YOU CAN HAVE THEM THE SAME SIZE OR DIFFERENT SIZES I LIKE TO HAVE MY WAIST STRIP JUST A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN MY HEM STRIP

    I'M ALSO USING TWO SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT STRIPS OF LYCRA FOR A FUNKY FINISH

    CUT TO THE SAME LENGTH AS YOUR MIDDLE STRIP

  3. 3

    NEXT TAKE YOUR HEM STRIP LAY IT RIGHT SIDE DOWN & FOLD OVER AN INC OR TWO ON EACH SIDE

    THEN FOLD IN HALF RIGHT WAY FACING & STEAM PRESS WITH AN IRON

    THEN DO THE SAME WITH THE HEM STRIP

  4. 4

    NOW TAKE YOUR HEM STRIP & PIN ALONG THE MIDDLE STRIP & SINGLE STITCH

    I LIKE TO DOUBLE STITCH FOR A BETTER FINISH

  5. 5

    NOW DO THE SAME WITH THE HEM STRIP

    THEN FOLDING THE SKIRT IN HALF MAKING SURE YOU FOLD IT RIGHT SIDE FACING STITCH FROM THE BOTTOM TO JUST UNDER THE WAIST BAND

    (DO NOT SEW UP TO THE TOP AS THE WAIST BAND NEEDS TO BE OPEN TO THREAD THE ELASTIC)

  6. 6

    NOW THREAD THE ELASTIC THROUGH THE WAIST BAND

    STITCH THE WAIST BAND TOGETHER
    THEN STITCH THE WAIST BAND SEAM TOGETHER

  7. 7

    & YOUR DONE :)
