    Step 3

    Since the elastic band was already sewn together at the ends i had to use a chair to expand the material so it won't be all bunched up and hard to sew. next I sew the closest i could to the existing seam line to make my stitching invisible and yeah thats it c: (the skirt is blue in this picture because of the natural light in this room, it's actually a dark purple)
