Description

I was trying to make a handkerchief skirt but I’m very bad at math so I cute the center hole too big and had to gather it on to a knit flare base, then added a band for the elastic to feed through. I found a site that offers a lovely little graph to help though…

    This is so unbelievably cool! I love it when creative people post their weaknesses. I have my share and have posted them too. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention! And you never know where it may lead.

    Next time that happens its ok, it’ll just add a bit more flare to the skirt when you attach the elastic, so make sure the elastic is perfect for your size and the skirt will be nice and full!
