Step 8Piecing Your Skirt
Take the first two ties and pin them together, starting at the widest spot and heading towards the cut end. Make sure your little funny diagonal seams are still pointing towards the cut end.
(FIRST PICTURE)
Start stitching at the wide end. When you are about to the end of the silky lining, take your seam tape and lay it along your seamline and stitch with it in place.
(SECOND AND THIRD PICTURES)
Do that for all but the last few ties. At this point, after every tie, you'll want to hold it up to yourself. When you think the size is fine, measure the top. It will need to be at least as large as your hip size if you've going to be able to put it on. Add more ties as necessary.
When it's perfect, press the seams open (it's easier to do this now than after it's done) and sew the first and last tie together, and press that seam.
