Anyway, this is my first skirt. I bought the cornflower blue linen at Jo Ann's as a yard of remnants because I thought the blue would look really good with an LA tan. har har har. here's a short play by play of what I did with Connie.
1) cut two rectangles of linen (about 23x16 inches) and sew the sides together.
2) hem
3) tack down the end of the elastic to one side of the skirt
4) stretch elastic as you sew down along the top, using box stitch for stretch.
5) sew straight stitch down the ends of the elastic to keep them together
6) add pocket
voila!
yayerzzz! this was pretty simple, so I'll be making more as soon as I buy more elastic. :)
Connie learned to sew! and fixed that size 6 skirt (the one she found in her dorm room one night that didnt belong to either of her roomies.. nor anyone on the floor. SKETCHY!) it looks brilliant!!!!!! nice work, C.
