How to make a bias cut skirt with wide stretch waistband

Step 5 Measure the width

Next take the fabric strip and, starting from the same end as the previous step, wrap it around your hips at their widest point - it doesn't matter if this is higher or lower than were you want the skirt to sit, it just needs to be the widest. Add 1cm for seam allowance and tie another knot.

Note - I do it in this order because my hip measurement is larger than the height measurement. If you have narrow hips and long legs you may need to measure hips first.
