I bought a fab stretchy skirt from H&M a while ago and i want to make another in the same style but no matter what i do, i get stuck.
I've made a miniature version to try to work it out, big enough to fit a big doll.
It is basically two long strips of fabric the width of my hips, that fold over and are front and back.
So there is no seam at the bottom and only a seam at the top where there is some elastic as well.
There are two seams down the sides.
I sew up the seams to make one very long tube, and then tuck up half inside the other half and sew up the wasteband, then I try pulling it through the right way through a little hole i left.
but instead when it comes through the right way, it's not a long thin tube, it's a big narrow circle like a bracelet.
Can anyway point me in the right direction please.
