Materials you will need:

  • A pareo or sarong
  • Elastic band
  • Sewing kit
  • Scissors

Step 1: Measure and Cut

Start by measuring the desired length of your skirt. Hold the pareo against your waist, ensuring that it reaches the length you desire. Once you have determined the length, use the scissors to carefully cut the pareo to size.

Step 2: Sew the Hem

To prevent the fabric from fraying, fold the bottom edge of the pareo about half an inch and secure it with pins. Using a needle and thread from your sewing kit, carefully sew along the folded edge, creating a clean and neat hem. Remove the pins as you go along.

Step 3: Create a Casing

Fold the top edge of the pareo about an inch and a half, making sure to leave enough space for the elastic band to pass through. Pin the fold in place and sew along the bottom edge, leaving both ends open for the elastic insertion.

Step 4: Insert the Elastic

Cut a piece of elastic band that is slightly smaller than your waist circumference. Attach a safety pin to one end of the elastic band and feed it through the opening of the casing. Gently guide the safety pin all the way around the skirt until it comes out of the opposite opening. Remove the safety pin and overlap the two ends of the elastic. Secure them by stitching them together with a needle and thread.

Step 5: Final Adjustments

Now that the elastic is securely in place, give the skirt a gentle shake to distribute the gathers evenly. Make any adjustments to the elastic or fabric as necessary to ensure a perfect fit. Once satisfied, stitch the openings of the casing closed.
