of the bottom lining piece to the bottom of the middle lining piece.
using 3/8″ elastic, wrap very snug around your doll’s waist. tip: you want this very snug because elastic stretches when you sew on it.
cut the length that you decided on. overlap the ends and sew with a zigzag stitch.
determine 4 points (the back center, the front center, each side) on the skirt that are equal distances apart. i did this by using the back seam as center back and folding. do the same thing for the elastic.
matching these points, pin the elastic to the right side of the skirt a little less than 1/4″ from the top edge.
