Add a side zipper and sew on your waistband - which you will cut to your waist measurement plus overlap and seam allowance. <BR/><BR/>Add a 1.5 inch hem to the bottom of your skirt....and there you have a easy skirt. <BR/><BR/>cheers <BR/><BR/>ColetteColettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803987910368624424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838580627585927365.post-46630521110593034292008-09-12T09:47:00.000+10:002008-09-12T09:47:00.000+10:00If it's made with no pattern then, um... how do yo...If it's made with no pattern then, um... how do you make it?
