"Hi! Would anyone know the best way to take in the waistband of a skirt? I am attempting to recycle some skirts I have "outgrown" into skirts for my 8 y.o. The sides look great, the waistband and pockets are not coming together well."

Good morning! I saw your comment about the skirts. You made need to remove the waistband, trim it to size, and re-attach it to the skirt. Otherwise it might get all bunchy at the side seams or back seams where you are taking it in. If it's an elastic waistband, undo the stitching, remove the elastic, and take in the entire skirt as needed. Add new elastic cut to the proper size and stitch band back in place. Hope this helps. Comment back if I've made any of it confusing. I'm just outside of Greenville, SC. I love Charlotte! It's a great city. :o)

Do you do any quilting? I love the magazines on quilting and embroidery from Australia. I do crazy quilting also and get lots of embroidery ideas and stitches from them. Guess you are having summer now. It is 50 degrees here in Montana and so far we have had very little winter. No snow. Before we know it it will be spring!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS
