When we left off, I was just getting ready to make the gathered waistband. To do this, I stitched a length of grosgrain ribbon to the reverse side of the skirt. Using clear thread in the bobbin makes the stitching virtually invisible on the outside.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_FPW7rgFJ_J4/SCEGzUr8IAI/AAAAAAAAAT8/v60aGWjoI2w/s1600-h/DSC00365.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_FPW7rgFJ_J4/SCEGzUr8IAI/AAAAAAAAAT8/v60aGWjoI2w/s200/DSC00365.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197442923758362626" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Threading the elastic through the sewn-on ribbon, the gathers emerge.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_FPW7rgFJ_J4/SCEFs0r8H9I/AAAAAAAAATk/B5GUDQpu768/s1600-h/DSC00392.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_FPW7rgFJ_J4/SCEFs0r8H9I/AAAAAAAAATk/B5GUDQpu768/s200/DSC00392.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197441712577585106" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This view of the bottom edge, hemmed inside-out to show the blue reverse of the fabric, also gives a glimpse of the <a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/howtos/show/149">French seam</a> running down the side. (A normal seam wouldn't have worked with the inside-out hem.)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_FPW7rgFJ_J4/SCEFtUr8H-I/AAAAAAAAATs/5DMKQbtAuRE/s1600-h/DSC00399.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_FPW7rgFJ_J4/SCEFtUr8H-I/AAAAAAAAATs/5DMKQbtAuRE/s200/DSC00399.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197441721167519714" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Et voila!</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_FPW7rgFJ_J4/SCEHTkr8IBI/AAAAAAAAAUE/0ruJSc5DM9Y/s1600-h/DSC00384-1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_FPW7rgFJ_J4/SCEHTkr8IBI/AAAAAAAAAUE/0ruJSc5DM9Y/s400/DSC00384-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197443477809143826" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br />Altogether, a very easy project.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02448511316937500115noreply@blogger.com
