High Waist Skirt

This is a very easy skirt that can be tweaked and embellished. Add pockets, make it mini, or apply lace to the bottom. The possibilities are endless. It wears best right around or above the belly button because of its lightly gathered and straight shape. Keep this is mind when measuring the waist. Sample used Brandon Mably Shell Scape , 44” wide.

Wrap Belt

This asymmetrical wrap style belt can be worn at the waist or slung low on the hip. Try making it in a solid color with a vibrant tie for a pop of color or completely solid for a more polished look. Use drafting paper or Pellon® Tru-Grid™ to create the pattern.
