#8: raphaella makes a high-waisted skirt

this is one of my favourite things to make - really quick, really easy, and there are so many ways to customize it!

all you need is one piece of fabric and some elastic - you don't even have to cut anything!

try making it really long and slightly narrower for slim maxi skirts, or adding loads of extra width and a little extra length for a volumized 50's-esque look!

remember - a stiffer fabric will give bigger volume, and a floatier fabric will give a lot more movement. try both!

here's the first ever one i made - over 3 years old and still going strong!

happy making!
