Step 4Important step!! Measure where you want waistband to end!
Measure where you want the waistband to end. This is important for style but is especially important if you are using mixed fabrics like we did. Cotton eyelet has no stretch, so the hips are the biggest circumference requiring little need for stretch. My daughter chose where on her hips she wanted the waistband to end. She measured 35.5". We rounded it up to 36" to compensate for error. Divide by six because you will need six panels to make this skirt.
If you are larger you should divide by a larger number. For instance a friend was 45" so we divided by 9. It looks better even though it's a little more work.
It doesn't matter how many panels there are.
If you are alternating colors for each panel the number you divide by has to be an even number.
