I love this tutorial, and I think i’d like to try it. I’m wondering if you would recommend any changes for a wearer who has a significant difference between waist and hip measurements. In general, I find these types of skirts to fit me loose in the waist and too tight across abdomen. Thanks!
April 13, 2012 |Many of us have curvy figures! Here’s one way to adjust for that: Make the skirt large enough to go around your hips, then pin some darts or pleats at the top to bring the waist in. Mark a straight waistline, then add the waistband to fit your waist (or wherever you want it to fall). Maybe some of our readers have more ideas? Jo
April 13, 2012 |Thank you so much for the great idea and prompt reply! I appreciate it.
April 13, 2012 |Try sewing some elastic thread with a decorative stitch in parallel pattern to the waist. It will be a “faux” smocking to take up the extra fabric while drawing attention to your waist. Also, you can use thread in the same color to make it more invisible.
I have a similar problem…thunder thighs and breeder hips…..gene pool! ! !
April 19, 2012 |Just registered, and having troubles bringing up the tutorial on the Maxi Skirt. I’ve tried clicking on the Trackbacks area, on the photo of the skirt, on the name of the designer and it brings up a blank new window and then nothing. Any suggestions?

Hi Ranae — From the home page or the projects page, click on the project title or photo. This should take you to a second screen with a photo, some text, and a link (on my computer the link is red). Click on the link and the PDF instructions should appear. Jo
