Apply skirt
Pin the skirt on the lower edge of the top piece, right sides facing. The side seams meet. The top piece needs to be stretched to the width of the skirt panel. Stitch the skirt. Neaten allowances together and press (a).
TIP: To make the seam pucker again after having it stretched out for stitching, stitch a additional elastic thread on the allowance.

Position the elastic thread on the allowance of the skirt seam and fix it using zigzag stitch. Make sure that you do not stitch into the elastic thread. Tighten the elastic thread to the width of your waist. Knot thread ends (b).

See linked technique if you choose to do the applique flower detailing, shown in the option “C” images. Enjoy and have fun!!
