Step 7
Instruction provided: Turn one long edge of waistband under 1cm and press. Pin other long edge across top of skirt with right sides together, align raw edges and match centre fronts. Sew waistband to top edge of apron. Press seam towards waistband.
I think the width of this press will depend on the width of other hems and seams. Having finished the project now I can note that I had to adjust the fold to about 5mm to get it to sit better and make it easier to sew.
Pin it along the raw edge good side facing down.
Did a zigzag on the waistband attachment for extra strength.
Because I had done by initial zigzag on the frill too far away from the edge when I lifted the waistband back this was visible. The pink gathers aren't a worry they just pulled out. I started unpicking the zigzag and got sick of it so I have entombed it in the apron by sewing another line on the waistband that covered it :P so naughty! But it worked.
