Thread the Drawstring

Make a Simple Drawstring Skirt

Feed the drawstring through your top hem.

Get your length of ribbon and fasten a safety pin to the end. Push the safety pin through one of your drawstring holes and begin scrunching the fabric to work the ribbon all the way around. Pull the pin out of the other drawstring hole and adjust the skirt to be evenly distributed on the ribbon.

Try your skirt on for size. You can add your own flavor to this skirt with these helpful tips.
