How to Gather at the Waistline | Jenniffer Taylor | Photo Tutorial

Follow along our photo tutorial and discover to gather a skirt at the waistline. It's certain to add a wow-factor to your garments!

You can add gathered detail at the waistline without affecting the hemline by pivoting the card – this gives you a tulip-shaped skirt. If you want a gathered waistline and a fuller skirt, simply separate the pieces by same distance at the waistline and the hemline.

This tutorial has been extracted from Your Skirt, Your Way by Jenniffer Taylor.
