Sorry, I hadn't taken on board you...Hi Kirsty. Sorry, I hadn't taken on board you not having the pattern!<br /><br />I'm old enough to remember waistbands when they really were waistbands - some of my earliest projects in the 80s were literally a rectangle of fabric gathered onto a straight band that was waist-sized, and that was that. Would that sort of style suit you - you'd just cut out a band long enough to go round your waist with a bit of an overlap for a button/fastening, and twice the width you'd want it, so you can double it over, plus seam allowances. It kind of depends if you want it to sit high on the waist, or a little lower, more yoke-style, if that makes sense?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103440683465827104.post-48247400057708629822012-01-06T21:03:50.007+00:002012-01-06T21:03:50.007+00:00Hey Chris :-) Thanks so much for the link. I lo...Hey Chris :-) Thanks so much for the link. I looked at this one before but I am not sure I can use it as I don't have the original pattern pieces, boo ! Do you think I could do it by just tracing the skirt and adding seam allowance ? I wonder if I should just go head and try anyway, that's part of the beauty of sewing eh ? Thanks again for your comment, I really appreciated it xKirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160921813896785056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103440683465827104.post-71617781019697493232012-01-06T20:35:59.099+00:002012-01-06T20:35:59.099+00:00Coletterie provided a tutorial really recently:
