Design Elements
Centered Zipper

Hook & Eyes

These are fully hand sewn.
Fully Enclosed Waistband

If you are not adding any lining to the skirt, this is the best technique to keep all your mess (threads, fraying fabric, etc.) hidden.
Hand Gathering

By hand, I pulled the ends of the threads until an even gather that matched the length of the waistband was achieved. My tip is to take your time so you don't snap the threads!
