How to act?

1. As for measuring parameters, you only need to measure one - the waist circumference.

• You should get two pieces of fabric. It is necessary to fold them and sew them along the side seams with a straight seam. Two-three centimeter allowances are processed with a zigzag.
• Now we begin to create folds. First, decide on their number. Divide the radius of the top of the skirt by this number. Set them aside on fabric and fix by ironing.
• Sew a hidden zipper.
• Wrap the elastic tape with a cloth and sew it to the item, grabbing a seam and a place on top of the folds.
