Simply beautifull skirt, (and very easy to make)
Easy job - great results! I wear this skirt with a corset and it looks stunning.
note: You might need to fold the edges of the skirt too, but that depends on the fabric you use - in my skirt I folded the edges of the red fabric, but didn't need to do it with the lace.

Step 1
First you need to measure the widest part of your body that will need to go through the skirt (usually hips)^^
Finished?
Now divide it by 2*3.14 ( twice pi ) and you'll get the needed radius. -
Step 2Now fold your square of fabric in four. From the inner point measure the radius you've got. Make a few measurements and mark, so that you'll end up with quarter of a circle - as shown in the picture.
Cut on the line - you'll get a hole in the middle of your fabric square.
Do the same with the second piece of fabric. -
Step 3Put the two pieces on top of each other matching the holes as shown in the pic.
-
Step 4Now fold the fabric edge around the hole inside (1/5 cm would suffice) and sew. Make sure you're sewing both of the pieces together. You'll get a messy edge folded inside.
Now, to hide the mess and prevent your skirt from falling apart - fold again, as the blue arrow shows, and sew. This time make it fit your elastic band's width. -
Step 5
All you've left to do is to insert the elastic band into the skirt!
First fit the band to yourself - put it around the place your skirt is going to be on, tighten a bit to make it hold and mark the needed length. Then insert it inside the fold you've sewn and sew it to itself following your mark.Wear and enjoy!
