First prep your fabric so you have two pieces that are each 22 x 36 inches. I just tear mine along the fold from the bolt.

Then sew the one short side of each piece to each other right sides together so it makes one long skinny piece.

Finish the long edges either on your serger or with a zig zag stitch.

Cut your elastic 5-6 inches SHORTER than your waist measurement. You want it to stretch or it will feel like it’s falling off.

Mark the center of your elastic and try to stretch it the full length of your fabric piece. You may have to use some muscle. If you can’t stretch it the full length cut even amounts off both ends to however long you can get the elastic to go (I did have to trim my fabric).

With the right side down stretch the elastic and zig zag the fabric onto the elastic.

Then fold the fabric down so the right side of the fabric is up and while stretching the elastic use a zig zag stitch to top stitch the fabric.

With right sides together sew up the skirt so you have a tube.

Finish the hem how ever you like. I just did a simple narrow hem by rolling the fabric under twice. Easy peasy.
