Tutorial: Paneled pencil skirt with a yoga waistband

This paneled pencil skirt is all kinds of awesome! Jess from The Sewing Rabbit shares a tutorial showing how to make one. Her post is part of the 12 Skirts of Christmas series at Sewing In No Man’s Land. The skirt fits snugly thanks to the stretch knit on the side panels. The contrasting front and back panels can be made from any fabric (cotton, wool, leather, you name it). The waistband is a simple, and very comfortable, yoga waistband. Go to The Sewing Rabbit to find her tutorial.
