Hi Buffalogirl, welcome to Sew Whats New.  If you need to add fabric to the front and back of your skirt, it has to be taken apart first and the elastic taken out of the casing. Then sew a panel of fabric to both front and back including a casing or tube for the elastic. Then put your elastic back in. I hope you can understand what I am trying to say. MaryW
