3. Overcast the bias edge of the front panel, press to the wrong side and topstitch.

5. Stitch the back waistband to the left and right front waistbands, press allowances open. Fold the waistband in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch the short sides and the tie. Start stitching strictly at the marked line for attaching the waistband to the skirt. At the mark, clip the allowances, turn the waistband right side out, and press. Attach the outer side of the waistband to the upper edge, turn under the inner side and topstitch into the attachment seam.

Trim allowances at the corners, turn the waistband right side out, straighten, and press. Overcast the short edge. Topstitch the detachable waistband onto the seam joining the back waistband to the left front waistband.
