I am a near beginner so I have no idea why had probs but I couldn't get the main skirt to lie flat otherwise. There was a good video on You Tube. This was the only bit of the sewalong that I had a real problem with, rest of it's great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343369529348363810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-28415864726888146202014-02-05T07:11:49.059+11:002014-02-05T07:11:49.059+11:00I just found your blog by clicking over from sewah...I just found your blog by clicking over from sewaholic.net.

I didn't see the bit earlier in the sewalong where you were supposed to NOT press under and trim the waistband and I finished it in a way where I can't go back!

I redid the zipper a few times, but I am yet to figure out how to deal with the distortion. I even stabilized the fabric with interfacing. I wonder if this is a lost case...Ramblings of the Threadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845194221478049458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-32695807801649190662013-04-26T08:43:49.991+10:002013-04-26T08:43:49.991+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ms. Fonseca, Teacher Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490267690597157102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-91946672812808671362013-02-26T07:43:48.179+11:002013-02-26T07:43:48.179+11:00This way of sewing a zipper with lining really is ...This way of sewing a zipper with lining really is neat, and your tutorial of it really gr8 :-).

I was also wondering if maybe the topstitching would sort out the zipper ;-) with a tendency to 'probably'... Thanks for the ideas!

If you're wearig it below your natural waist, or your waist isn't actually your narrowest part this might happen (eg if your ribcage is narrower than your waist). Putting little darts in the waistband at the side seams might work, but also would probably be fairly bulky, and could be uncomfortable. You probably don't need to re-do the whole zip, but maybe unpicking just the waistband part and re-folding it in a bit more there might fix your problem?<br />Or to be honest, is it bad enough that you even need to worry? (that's my lazy answer).Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205271379351276007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-32157763004118824242013-01-30T06:18:31.459+11:002013-01-30T06:18:31.459+11:00Yours is much neater than mine - why am I not surp...Yours is much neater than mine - why am I not surprised? ;-) <br />My zipper is now in, and I tried on the skirt and realized I have waistband gapage - the top of my waistband stands off slightly. More so near the zipper. Am I the only one, or is this a common problem? Did I pull too much during zipper insertion? (I struggled, I'll admit it!) I was pondering putting two little darts into the waistband on top of the side seam. Any other suggestions, apart from re-sew the zipper (nooooo!)?
