Knife Pleated skirt part 2


my camera is sucking in a major way!
thats just a heads up... for lack of or poor quality pics from my phone ...
and i've been distracted by other projects... like right now, i'm working on new gear and trying to get a business started kind of a busy girl, eh?

So anywho... you've done the pleats all around the skirt right? wasn't it fun... and time consuming... it usually takes me a couple days to do, only cuz i have a very short attention span, so i have a few projects going on that i go back and forth on...

Now, you need a waistband, and it all depends on how wide you want it... Measure your waist, and cut out the width, doubled... cuz you'll be folding the waistband over.
I also used interfacing in the waistband. the iron on stuff...then with right sides together, sew the waistband to the skirt. , i leave the opening on the side of the skirt.., cuz thats where i put my zipper...
once that;s done, fold the waistband and topstitch it down and tada!!!!
Sew the Zipper into the opening, i added a little hook above it and Now it's done :D

Not that hard, is it :D
and very cute!
