LEARN TO MAKE: A VELCRO SKIRT
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
M N
Now, fold the main skirt in half to find the center along the
basted top edge and place a pin.
Pin the center point of the main skirt to the center point of the
waistband. Pin the 2 finished ends of the skirt so they line up
with the pins on each end of the waistband.
You are now ready to “gather” your skirt.
O P
Gather the top edge of the skirt by gently pulling the nylon
threads on the left end of the skirt. As you pull, adjust the
gathers until they are evenly distributed from the end where
you started pulling to the center.
Secure the long nylon threads by wrapping them around the
pin and pin in place. Repeat step O for the other side of the
skirt, gathering towards the center.
Q R
Using your machine, stitch the gathered skirt to the waistband
using a short length stitch.
You are now ready to finish the waistband. Start with the
end of the waistband that has a longer extension. Fold the
waistband so right sides are together and pin as shown.
