2. Cut it to the appropriate length, leaving some at the top to fold over and ensuring it is pencil skirtlength at the bottom. You may have to put the skirt on and play around to check the length, that’s all partof the process.
5. You should have a mesh layer (a ‘sock’ of sorts). You may want to allow for it to be little longer atthe back (to cover the bum) and still be horizontal at the hemline (mine was at least).
6. Fold the top edge of the mesh over the waistband of your skirt and sew it down. Also sew the meshon up the edges of the zip (making sure to leave the zip open for easy removal!) if your skirt has one.
a mesh skirt has been on my diy list for quite some time. thanks for the tutorial!
