Would it be best to attach the elastic to the wrong side of the fabric?

You are SO pretty. I can't wait to try this, saves tons of sewing and thread with regular gathers.

Maybe a silly question, but when you go to serge the two pieces together, are you serging over the elastic? That doesn’t make sense. But if you don’t, won’t the elastic show on the outside of since it was sewn on the right side? Hope that makes sense

That is an awesome trick! So much simpler than traditional gathering!

[lyssweet]

Omg finally found the easy way for gathering hahaha thank you so much for the knowledge

[mariekevannuenen]

Hi! I love this tutorial! I'm just wondering - If my bottom skirt consists of two separate pieces of fabric, should I connect those two first, and sew elastic over the seam, or would it be better to do a separate gathering for each piece that I then connect together as one skirt? Hope that question makes sense..
