This is probably way easier than I’m making – it’s too cute, but I’m a little confused. You say to “cut 3 4.5 inch strips of fabric for the waistband.” Then later you say to take one of our 3 waistband strips and trim it to 2 inches longer than your waist. If it’s only 4.5 inches to begin with, how can it be longer or trimmed to longer than my waist? And by waist do you mean the waist math answer (so around 12)? Thanks and I’m looking forward to trying this out!

Thank you so much for an easy to follow tutorial. I have searched everywhere for an ” easy ” to understand pattern. I will make this straight away for my daughter in Australia. Now all I have to find is a simple wrap top (singlet style) and my happiness will be complete. Jake.

Easy drafting! I’m fairly pleased with how the skirt came out (I cut mine for a full front overlap, since I like full coverage from winter gusts). My fabrics frayed considerably, so I top-stitched the end and hem seams for added stability. Topstitching the hem probably wasn’t a good idea, as it makes any sagging in the fabric more obvious. Not too bad, though. Next time, when I have more time, I’ll stay-stitch the waist and hang the raw pieces for a few days to let the bias stretch , then match/even up the remaining raw edges.

I cannot wait to try this pattern! We don’t run the AC a lot at work and am looking for ways to stay cool. I think this fits the bill.

This is perfect timing..! I’ve been wanting to make a wrap skirt and love that this tutorial is for a reversable one! I’m getting started on drafting the pattern today! The instructions in the tutorial are very clear and easy to understand. Thanks so much!!!

that’s fantastic, I admired her skirt when she modeled it on her site which is great by the way.
