Burda Style For people who sew

Pouty skirt with wide elastic waistband. I'm incredibly sorry in advance for the lack of pictures and vague instructions! This is my first how-to. I promise to provide better instructions next time!

Technique Materials

Wide elastic waistband. 1 yard of twill. I used stretch lycra twill. 1 invisible zipper matching fabric.

  i like the skirt & want to make it..but i’m more of a visual person so it would be nice to be able to see pics of the steps you took rather than just reading them.

  can you show how to make it using pictures?

  This is a very cute skirt. I love how you don’t have to use a pattern to make this. Although pics would have been nice, your description was detailed enough to get the idea. Thanks for the post. I will defiantly be trying this in the near future.

  This is so clever. It would look neat with different coloured elastic too.
