Bubble Skirt OTTO 6/07 #14

Sew the hemlines together of outer and inner skirt...




Your skirt should look like this now...
Notice I sewed gathering stitches on the waistline of the inner skirt? Do that now... and bring the inner skirt back up through the outer skirt...


It should look like this...


Now sew the two skirts together at the zipper opening.. It will make it very easy to put in the zipper and it will look nice and clean when you're done...


Baste the waistline together...


Put on your waistband however you choose. Just remember that you need to have that zipper opening at the side.. Use the elastic that you measured your cutie's waist with... put it inside...


Here it is with the elastic in and side still open...


Open hidden zipper and iron the teeth open... then sew on the zipper like this... pay attention to how the zipper is positioned...


Now the other side... again look at the position..


Done! Pretty!!!


She loves it!!





Thanks and good luck!!

that is SO cute Tamar!

What did you do after you sewed the zipper in? Did you just cut off the excess?

Oh! Oops. I guess I forgot that part...
I folded the excess at the top of the zipper over the waistband to the other side and then when I folded the seam open I tacked it neatly so that the excess zipper is hidden and secure... I'm not sure if that is clear or not, so if you want I can take a picture. I would not mind at all.
