Heyhey,
I just noticed I never gave you the sewing how to for the maxi skirt! I am so sorry. But here they finally are: the sewing steps of the maxi skirt!
pin the skirt parts together, but leave one side open
sew all seams and use your serger, or an overedging stitch of your sewing machine, also on the open ends
place your zipper (mine is 20cm long)
and mark the length
sew from there down with normal wide stitching and do some stitches back and forth at the end
then sew the later zipper opening with really wide stitching
iron the seam allowances apart
pin the zipper in place
and sew it
then undo the wide stitching
test if it works properly
measure around the waistline
cut a strip 4 times your seam allowance and as the length the measurement
pin it all around to the skirt, leave some standing over at beginning and end, so the open ends wont be showing later, this way the strip is a little shorter
sew
fold up and over the seam allowance and inside, so the seam allowance is all wrapped in the strip
sew all around
now double fold the hem and pin
and sew, I used some decorative stitching
and sew a hook in to the waistband to keep it closed
finished!
I hope this is helpful for you, if there are any questions please let me know!
keep sewing and smiling
