Tools and materials:

1. Mark around your pattern skirt to make 1 panel
Fold your existing skirt in half vertically. This will be your template.
Then fold the table skirt in half and place the template, fold against fold, aligned at the top of the table skirt.
Cut around the template. Repeat to make a 2nd panel.
2. Create a rounded panel
Lay out more of the table skirt fabric. Fold one of your cut panels in half vertically.
Align the top of the folded panel with the top of the uncut table skirt fabric.
Align the cut edge of the folded panel with the finished edge of the table skirt fabric.
Cut a rounded edge to meet up with the length of the panel.
3. Attach the panels
Pin the rounded panel to one of the other skirt panels, right sides together, tops aligned.
Fold the curved panel to the right so it’s out of the way.
Place the 2nd skirt panel on top of its matching panel, right sides together. Pin the left side. Sew the pinned sides.
4. Turn the skirt right side out
Turn the skirt right side out. The skirt is taking shape!
5. Enclose and sew raw edges
Pin double fold bias tape along the bottom hem edge and up the curved panel edges.
6. Enclose the waist edge and create a tie
Pin the double fold bias tape along the waist edge, leaving extra tape on both ends to create the tie.
