add a drawstring to your everyday skirt
The waistband of the Montauk Trousers has a fun drawstring detail that adds a little something to a casual pattern. Today Liesl will show you how to add a drawstring to the Everyday Skirt. You can adapt this tutorial to fit other patterns, too!
S’s saint-germain wrap skirt
We sewed just the skirt from the Saint Germain Wrap Dress, and it worked really well!
