I've been wanting to learn how to make a good fitting yoga band for
months. I'd tried it before, but with less than satisfiable results.
Well I tried it again yesterday, and this time it worked. Only thing
is, I might have made the band just a little bit snug, but it is
completely wearable.

a picture of the skirt with the 8 1/2" band fully extended up. I like
that I finally found out how to make the band curve inward in the side
seams. |

The skirt has a lettuce hem treatment which I find
completely suitable for a casual knit garment. My plan was to wear it
with my 3rd Briar top.
I'm
not sure yet; I like the skirt, and I really like the top, but I'm not
absolutely sure that I like the two together. On the dressform it looks
a bit matronly - and I sure don't want to emit that persona. We'll
see. If it doesn't work I can always find another top for the skirt,
and wear the Briar with something else. These two pieces used up 3 1/2
yards of stashed fabric.

Yes, sometimes our plans to put things together don't work, but sooner or later something will.
