Have you got some tricks to sew elastic into a waist band. I have been sewing the waist band in...the big trick is getting the elastic sewn into the fabric so it stretches with the fabric and doesn't slide around. I have two more waist bands to replace the elastic in and some are stitched 3 threads deep to rip out and redo by hand.
How long did it take you to make a prairie dress??? What did you learn as you were sewing it by hand?
