Half Circle Skirt pt.2 ...

ZIPPER!
Play sound clip
You will begin by loosely stitching the two sides from the open 11 inches on the left side seam. Then place your zipper face down and then stitch that to your side seam. Place this zipper to that the teach of the zipper are just barely away from the crease in the seam. Pin the zipper to the fabric once this is completed.

Take your fabric and your pinned zipper to the machine and then carefully and I mean CAREFULLY sew a straight stitch with back stitching both ends as close to the teeth as possible. Oh, and did I mention that this is to be done with the fabric flipped back the right way, so the right side is facing out? You're doing this by feel ladies and gentlemen, I wish you good luck.

When you have reached the bottom of the teeth turn your fabric 90 degrees and stitch just an inch in the new direction going over the zipper. Then go back up the zipper on the other side.

Waistband
Flip your fabric inside out again and then line up the seam allowance on the waistband and the seam allowance at the waist opening. The fabric's wrong sides should face each other and fold down the extra bit of fabric over the skirt fabric and then tuck it in on itself so it is just below the seam allowance line. Go to the machine and sew the waistband. There will still be two end pieces to the waist band that will still be sticking out.

Fold those pieces so that there isn't any little tiny extra bits poking out on the side and stitch it down with a cross stitch.

Finally, add hook and bar closures on the end of the waistband. These closures should be placed in a way that when fastened neither of the pieces are visible.

You now have a skirt, enjoy! Or don't, you know. Your choice.
