Ladies' Skirt #0200 continued

Pinning and tacking the scallops in place

The scallops were more of a challenge than I anticipated. Put the wrong sides together. They are finished so they are on the left of the garment not on the right as illustrated on the pattern cover.
The raw edges  must be carefully trimmed again so they are exactly the same size and shape after they have been pressed, pinned and tacked so they don't slip out of position. Press again. Pin the bias binding over the raw edge on the right side so it straddles the raw edges of the scallops.

Pinning the bias in position
Pin, fold on points check both side look right and press. I have kept the tacking in position until all is finished.
