How to Press an Altered Skirt

Hi, I'm Melina and welcome to Expert Village. In this next step, we're going to iron our skirt. So basically, you're going to iron over your patches, flatten out any bubbles you may have. And you?re going to iron over your triangle, and you want to make sure that you're ironing all the seams flat and closed. Now, up at the top here, you may have a little bit of fabric that pokes out, because this was a different shape. So you want to make sure that when you iron there, you press down really hard. If not, when you wear your skirt you going to have a little piece poking out there. If it still pokes out when you wear it, you can take a few stitches and sew it down. But it shouldn't, if you iron is flat. Go ahead and iron out all the wrinkles. Iron out all the patches. And your skirt is now ready to be worn.
