I did remove some of the material from each skirt. With the skirt inside out laying flat on a table or the floor I pinned a few inches (down the entire length of the skirt) in from the original side seam, keeping parallel to the original seam. Then I sewed a new seam and finished the new seam with my serger.Then I added the elastic waist (if needed- skirt #2 and #3 already had elastic waist bands). I hope this makes sense!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148211919396920179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363482306717127753.post-16112117140039575622010-07-25T15:14:08.839-04:002010-07-25T15:14:08.839-04:00okay, love the skirts but did you have to remove p...okay, love the skirts but did you have to remove part of the material or is all you did was add elastic?

I bought a many-sizes-too-small dress at the thrift shop the other day because I loved the fabric and the great pockets.
