How to Make a Paper Bag Waist Skirt
This week on Thread Heads, Morgan Hungerford from Panda Head and Muss Clothing teaches us how to make a cool paper bag waist skirt out of an oversized skirt. For more info, check out the video!
What you need:
Skirt (a size or two too big)
Elastic
Scissors
Straight Pins
Ruler
Sewing Machine
First, you need a skirt that is about a size or two too big. Turn it inside out, and lay it flat.
Then, measure about two and a half inches down from the top of the skirt, and pin.
Using the elastic, measure your natural waist, and cut the elastic. It should be snug but not too tight.
Next, pin the elastic along the skirt where you measured.
When sewing, make sure that you hold the fabric taut and flat when going through the machine. And, believe it or not, thats it!
