Sew the top of the elastic to the top of the skirt (first pic) then fold over the fabric and sew again (second pic) this creates a 'casing' for your elastic without the fiddly poking the elastic through with a knitting needle!!
Then turn up the hem, pin and sew!! Make sure it's even and again use lots of pins!!
Sew in as straight a line as possible! (Take your time!)
And ta dah!!! Your skirt is done!!
It may take a few tries, but your unpicker (seam ripper) will always be your best friend!! This fabric is a cath kidston cotton duck and I used about 3/4 of a metre, and about the same again of elastic.
Hope this has inspired you to get sewing!!
Love, Sian 💕💕
