For the skirt, pick the lenght and width of your choice. Measure it and cut

The elastic band should measure the same as the bottom of the shirt.

When you sew the elastic on the fabric pull a little bit as you go.

When your done sewing the elastic, unite the edges and sew as well to finish the skirt.
