Skirt made bigger and shorter

I made this skirt bigger and shorter in one fell swoop

I bought it for only £1 from a local charity shop in a size smaller than I normally wear but that could be fixed.

The shape and simple construction of this skirt meant that by removing an inch of length from the waistband end it was made both bigger and shorter.

Here is what I cut off.

I made a new waistband from a thin strip of t-shirt fabric, stretching it slightly as I sewed.
