Elastic At Waist

• Overlap elastic ends and stitch as shown to form a loop (fig. 13), divide it into fourths and mark with pins (fig. 14).
• Divide waist opening into fourths (center front, center back and side seams) and mark with pins (fig. 15).
• Pin elastic to wrong side of opening, matching pins.
• Sew along raw edge of fabric using a zigzag stitch and stretching the elastic as you sew to fit the opening (fig. 16).
• Fold elastic to wrong side of fabric and stitch again, over the first zigzag stitch (fig. 17).
  

Finishing

• There are different options for finishing the skirt hem. It all depends on the fabric, the sewing machine and… your inspiration! Here are a few suggestions :
  1. Fold hem by 1 (3/8’’) or 2 (3/4’’) cm to wrong side and topstitch using a straight stitch (best with straight or A-line skirt)
  2. Use the rolled hem technique with your serger or use a short zigzag stitch along raw edge for lettuce effect (best with skirts like A and E)
  3. Leave the hem as is (if your fabric does not fray). This finish is very common in ready-to-wear stores.
  4. Sew lace trimming to the right side of skirt hem.
