No problem! It is made from TV 305 bustled apron overskirt. In the directions, she has you A) flatline the upper portion of the back with stiff netting and B) you sew three lengths of twill tape (or strong ribbon -like grosgrain) to the top of the back of the bottom of the waistband. Then you play with bustling up the fabric and tack it to the tapes randomly until you like the way it looks. Like this:
Some people, in order to let the fabric lie flat for washing and ironing, sew button holes into the twill tape and buttons to the underside of the bustled area. that way, they can let it back out for easy laundering. Me? I use small safety pins so I can get the same effect and ease of laundering without all the hassle of sewing buttons and button holes! I'm the queen of safety pins!
