It's a skirt and a dress

I love the color mint. When I saw this fabric it sure was love at first sight and I bought it right away.

Skirt: me, Red blossom necklace: Tiny Dazzles,  Turquoise necklace: Tiny Dazzles

I used my old maxi skirt I made here for a pattern.  I folded my fabric in half (hotdog style). My measurements are 43" long (from waist to ankle) with a 1.5 inch allowance for the bottom hem and where the waist attaches to the band. Waist 32" around (please don't tell)!

Then I got this above. I turned the 2 pieces of fabric inside out and sewed a straight stitch along the sides

To make the waist band, I had another piece of fabric measuring 22" high and 30" wide (notice that the waist band is at least 2" smaller in width, this will make it a little snug at the waist so it doesn't fall off)

I folded the waist band fabric hamburger style then hotdog style.  Here is what the hotdog/hamburger styles look like. Sew along the one open side

Turn it it inside out. When you are done, the band should look like above.

Then you will have 2 pieces like above

Now, attach the waist band to the skirt using pins (both pieces should be turned inside out, meaning the right sides should be facing).  Then hem the bottom of your skirt and you are done:)
