Thank you for going slow and showing step by step how to actually attach the waistband! I hand sew the occasional project, and this is an absolute perfect video of both interfacing the waistband and attaching it to the skirt portion!!
Fabulous tutorial! I now finally understand what this simple,yet highly important 👍🏼, step to finishing my 1898 Walking Skirt! I'm so excited to get my first ever clothing project complete!! Many many thanks!! 🖤🖤
Perfectly and clearly explained, detailed but also straight to the point. I cannot being to describe how much I appreciate a well made tutorial.
Thank you so much Hannah! I'm glad this tutorial was easy to follow! (:
Thank you!!!! I'm making a Steampunk skirt and it used two pieces for a waistband and the instructions were doing my head in. This is sooooo much easier!
For days I have been trying to figure out how to put a waistband on and for it to look neat. Thank you for the tutorial!
Most easiest explanation from beginning to end...! You're a life saver! Like fr fr.. Thank you so much
I love this tutorial, easy, simple, neat enough for a newbie like myself. Thanks much.
I'm so glad you liked it! Best of luck with your sewing! (:
Omg followed this step by step and I ACTUALLY MADE AND SEWED IN A PERFECT WAISTBAND!!!! Thank you so so much for this tutorial 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful and informative tutorial.
Thank you, I had to watch this several times to fully understand what's happening, but I think I have it now. Wish me luck!
Best of luck! You can do it!! (:
Your tutorial videos are so clear and helpful! I love how much care you put into explaining each step. Thank you for making your videos!
Thank you Sydney! I'm so glad my videos are helpful for you!! (:
You are so wonderfully creative, and explain and demonstrate very well! I wanted to mention that interfacing may work better, if you just hold iron in one spot for approx 15 seconds, depending on fabric. Then lift iron, move it over and repeat, opposed to swiping along. Just a thought, you are amazing!
This is a great tutorial, I'm wanting only use the skirt part of a dress pattern and was puzzling how to put a waistband on to finish it, this is brilliant thanks.
Me too I was amazed, how you stitched over pins. Your instructions are engaging.
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen for how to do a waistband. Thank you so much!
I love how simple, straight to the point this video is! Thank you for making this video! Also I had no idea you could sew over pins like that!!! 🤯
Ahh I'm so glad this was helpful!
If you're sewing over pins just make sure you're going slow because I heard if you hit a pin while sewing fast then it can potentially mess up the timing of the machine.
Ah, love making the waistband a little wider on one end. I had not thought of that, great idea, thank you.
I'm so glad this was helpful Linda! (:
Outstanding tutorial. Best I've seen yet.
you saved my life in college rn with this video! thanks so much for your work
I'm glad I could help! Good luck with your studies!

This is the only video to watch , made a skirt and this was brillant , I did a muslin one with the pattern but didn't like the way the waistband was put together , your way just make sense , thanks
Thank you!!!! Outstanding!
So helpful thank you!
Thank you. This tutorial helped me out a lot ❤
Thank you for the information!!😊
This was so great. Thanks for sharing this. It makes it simple for a newbie like me. A great video. Hi from sunshine-y Kingston, Jamaica! 🙂
love it
🤯
THANK YOU! I have been having such a brain block trying to grasp this. You made it so simple to understand the why behind the things your doing,It seems silly now to think i was stuck on this lol
Glad it was helpful!! Sometimes it's the simplest things we get stuck on haha!
This was super helpful, was lost with how my 1940's pattern wanted to do the waistband and didn't like how they wanted it top-stitched on, so did your method... thank you
This is so great
I don't know why I cannot get this right! Your video is the only one that has made sense to me, time to practice!
This is great!! Thankyou 😍
Yay! (:
I'm glad this helped you Leigh!
Another video I watched said press the iron down when fusing interfacing, but don't slide it. They said sliding the iron causes wrinkles and bubbles because the stretch is different. I'm watching these because my daughter is working on something and I actually know nothing about this. Only commenting because that detail seemed relevant.
I watched this video like 8 times while making the skirt I just finished. It was so clear and concise! Also.... so many people who make tutorials have this bizarre accent/speech thing where they say "een" instead of "ing." "Now we will start seween and threadeen and unpickeen...." It seriously drives me crazy. So I appreciate your instructions AND your proper enunciation! ;'D
Hey Jen! I'm so glad I could help you with your skirt!
Thank You !
Nice tutorial Eli, I like the colour.
Thank you!! I love the color too! It feels so regal! (:
I do something very similar when making skirts with a waistband. But you added in one extra step then me that will def make it a lot easier since its something i necer thought of doing. Since i was basically finishing the part that lines up the zipper a bit differently. Thank you for this cant wait to see yohr next video!
Glad I can help you Chaos!
Brilliant thanks
Thank you. That was great!
Thank you! (:
Thank you so so much
I loooove you!!! Thank u
Glad I could help Dani!
Thank you.
Perfect
Thank you so much for this video, i need this to make a skirt. dear Can i use a canvass for interfacing? i will appreciate your reply.
You sound like Kathryn Morgan, haha.😂❤ This was so helpful! I was getting lost on my skirt!😬😅 Thank you so much for this!!!
Glad it was helpful!
THANK YOU! I'm making my first piece ever, and the pattern's instructions for how to install the waistband make no sense. Thank you so much for this!
Hi Paige!! I'm so glad I could help! I hope your project turned out beautifully!
Your voice is so cute 🥺
Ahh thank you AJ!
Awesome! That was exactly what I was looking for, but now, with seeing your skirt, do you have a video about the rest of it?
Hello! I don't have a video for the rest of this skirt, sorry!
@@EliEbberts 😞😢
You going over your pins makes me flinch lol. Thx for the vid v. Helpful
Haha everyone has different levels of comfort sewing over pins! I've been sewing so long I'm pretty comfortable doing it, but I always keep safety goggles on hand for extra tough projects.
👍👏
♥️❤️❤️
Quick question, is there any other way to make a pleated skirt without a zipper? I don’t have one but I have buttons. Im just not sure if it would work or how to do it
If you’d like to complete a skirt without a zipper I suggest looking into historical closures on clothes. Generally they used hooks, snaps or buttons as zippers weren’t widely available!
@@EliEbberts Okay tysm❤️
is there any way to do this without interfacing?
You can create a waist band without interfacing it simply won't be as stiff! Follow the same steps just omit the Interfacing! (: Note that if you're using a thin/silky fabric you might want to flat line it with cotton for stability.
Add another layer of fabric in between. Use spray starch on the between piece.
V nice video I m watching u from Pakistan
I got a mild panic attack from the bubbles on the interfacing. And when you sew over the needles 😱🤯😂
Is interfacing needed?
While it's not technically needed I very much suggest using it, it will keep your waist band crisp!
How can I hide a elastic band inside the waist band?
Hello! You have a few options when it comes to adding elastic to this skirt! You could put elastic around the entire waist but leaving a 2" gap when "Stitching in the Ditch", you would then thread the elastic into the waist band, stitch the elastic closed and finished the "stitch in the ditch". The other option is to short stitch a strip of elastic (usually around 6") directly to the waist band (where it would be in the back of the skirt) - do this before attaching the waist band then continue as normal.
Eli Ebberts- you are a really lovely,, r bubbly lady.
How are you sewing over the pins .? Everyone always says "be sure not to sew over the pins or you'll damage your machine?" Lol im so lost
If you place them perpendicular to the direction you sew, it’s never a problem. In my costume shop we sew over them because the likelihood of breaking a needle on a pin is so slim. Just go perpendicular!
Haha everyone has their own methods and preferences! I’ve never damaged my machine sewing over the pins and I find that it holds the fabric better than the other method. (:
Oof I chose the worst fabric for this, it's tulle over a shimmery nylon and it's so slippery. Well the end product won't be professional quality but I think I'll still be proud of it! Or at least if anyone notices the imperfections I can say it was my first time with that fabric and I was still learning how to sew.
Oof that’s a rough first choice! I’m sure it’ll be beautiful though! Every project is a learning opportunity! 💖
@@EliEbberts thank you for the encouragement! I really needed it ☺️
Your instructions are too fast.
