Skirt tutorial (2 of 3)

PART IV: Assembly

9.  Take the smaller waistband piece, with the fold at the top, and the open end at the bottom, and put it over the top of the body so that the top 1/2" of the body is sandwiched inside the waistband.  You will not be gathering any of the body yet, so it will just look like this:


10.  Sew two horizontal lines across the waistband piece so that you have three even channels.



11.  Cut three 6" pieces of elastic.  Thread each piece through one of the channels you just made, and sew into place.

12. Pin the remaining top edge of the body into the open end of the remaining waistband piece.  This step is very similar to step 9, except that this time you will be gathering the body as you pin it in place.  The longer waistband piece should overlap the smaller one by a little bit, to cover up the unfinished edges.

13.  Sew the pinned pieces together.
