Today, I wore my new navy maxi skirt as a dress! I love making my skirts with a yoga waistband because they are so comfy!
I discovered that when I made a skirt with a 10″ wide waistband, I could also wear it as a dress! Here’s my post on how to make your own maxi skirt Instead of folding down the waistband, I pulled it up and over my chest and added a belt for style 🙂
Hope you love it as much as I do! My husband kept complimenting me on how beautiful I looked in my dress (he had no clue I made it until later in the day!).

I’ve been pinning a ton of tutorials on maxi skirts to see how others make them. I’m not sure why but I just prefer to keep mine with one back seam using one large piece of fabric instead of using two pieces and having two side seams.
So, I’m short…we’ve discussed this before as I’m only 5′ tall. For my own DIY maxi skirt I used just under 1 yard of knit (60″ wide) fabric.
Since the fabric was 60″ wide, I cut off 10″ from the width for my waistband.
I then used my longest widest stitch settings to sew a straight line along the top of the new skirt. Make sure to leave both the beginning and end threads extra long as you’ll need them to gather.
After doing the straight stitch, tug at the thread strings to gather the top of the skirt. Once it’s gathered, make sure the gathering is evenly spread. Now, sew down the back seam creating your skirt. 
Next, sew your new waistband into a tube, slide it over the top of your skirt with the right sides together, align the top of the skirt with the waistband and pin into place.
Now, attach the waistband with a straight stitch.
I prefer a wider waistband so that I can fold it over (though a thinner waistband works just as well!). Now, admire your work!
