Claudia skirt help needed pls!

Its from the simply sewing magazine, has anybody made the claudia skirt?  I am having a complete brain meltdown trying to make the waistband and how the ties attach.  I have even emailed the magazing to ask for help, does anybody know where there is a video tutorial for this skirt, I cannot find one on you tube.  Lucikly i am doing a toile first otherwise I would have given up by now! Any help appreciated 😀

Me again, i stepped away, had a cup of tea, choc biscuit and then went back to it and it came straight to me woohoo its amazing how much a cuppa & biscuit can give inspiration!

I'm so pleased you were able to figure it out, the power of a cuppa eh?! would love to see it when it's finished!

All finished! I shall wear it on my holidays in September, loved the fabric easy to work with.

Gorgeous!!!
