Elastic waist band
(handmade necklace by Saressa)
This pretty fabric was from a clearance curtain. It didn't have another set so I made it a dress, but didn't want to wear a tube dress so I finished it as a skirt. It turned out quite lovely, would look great at a wedding or reception dress.
The beautiful gem necklace was handmade from Saressa.
1) Cut fabric to desired length. Measure out enough to make a full skirt (based off your measurements).
2) Pleat by sewing folds back and forth evenly along the waistline like this.
3) Once folds are all sewn along waistline, sew elastic band right sides together with pleated skirt. You will have to pull the elastic to fit.
Lovely!!! It's a very cute skirt.
