Last year I´ve made a skirt following this tutorial that I´ve found on pinterest. It was one of my favorites last year and still is this year (when 2/3 of my wardrobe is getting too small).
This skirt is not meant to be a maternity skirt but the knit waist band is stretchy enough to accommodate a growing belly. So, I decided to make one more super comfy skirt today.
Without going back to the tutorial I´ve used for the first skirt, I just took the one I had as my pattern, folded the waist band inside and cut around the edges leaving my seam allowance.
Unfortunately, my fabric wasn´t quite wide enough (it was a left over from another project), so I decided to make it a little smaller at the bottom.

Done! It´s a great 60 min project.
This waistband is folded double lengthwise.
