The only problem I 'm having with it is the elastic and the elastic casing. I can't get the casing around the elastic to stop shifting. I used a knit elastic although I had a no-roll elastic, I thought it felt more comfortable around my waist. Should I sew the elastic to the casing to get to stop shifting? How can I avoid this in the future. Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11086575083248050183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-17135213324197991732013-07-31T12:31:30.392-07:002013-07-31T12:31:30.392-07:00Made this skirt and get plenty of compliments when...Made this skirt and get plenty of compliments when I wear it.

Your style is so bomb and I love that you are from Chi City. I am from Maywood!! I now live in San Antonio. I need to lose some weight so that I can make this skirt/dress. I have found my new inspiration. I learned to sew last year about August and I have been so nervous about making clothes. You make it look SEW easy (pun intended). I am married to a Puerto Rican man and I am so happy to find a Latina blogger who is doing her thing that I can show to my girls as a positive role model. Keep doing your thing!!!<br /><br />Besos!!!Crystals Curlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945333251921568602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-30335306513413682102013-04-30T20:52:04.475-07:002013-04-30T20:52:04.475-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Celestenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-32157920950767987092013-04-26T08:36:55.397-07:002013-04-26T08:36:55.397-07:00Just follow what I said in the video.

Instead of taking the length measurement x 2 divided by 36, shouldn't you use your waist measurement x 2 divided by 36 so the yardage is more like 1.5? I'm new to sewing so please let me know if I'm thinking about this the wrong way :)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200792213908130435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-13454606697150542742013-04-22T18:25:08.583-07:002013-04-22T18:25:08.583-07:00This looks awesome!

I'm very new to sewing so I have watched other tutorials and read several write up and I found that some of them say you should laundry you fabric before sewing with it to allow for shrinkage. While watching you I haven't heard you say anything as such, do you laundry any of your fabric first? I'm so excited about getting started I'm sure this will be my first project. My mother loves the maxi skirts but they all fall just above her ankles, now I can make these for her the length that she wants. Again thank you and keep up the fabulous work.

Thanks to this careful and thorough tutorial I finally grew a pair and made a gorgeous maxi skirt out of a yukata (like a less formal kimono) I bought in Japan 10 years ago (and surprise surprise, I never wore). Now my memories from my amazing trip to Japan can be relived over and over again every time I wear this skirt, which will be a lot! I've also taken a stroll through your blog and can safely say you've got great style and except for your height, a similar shape to mine, so I look forward to trying out some of your other tutorials.
