Instructions:
1. Begin by preparing the skirt. If the skirt is new, wash and dry it according to the care instructions. If the skirt is used, make sure it is clean and free of any wrinkles.

6. Sew the lace trim to the skirt, using a straight stitch. Start at the top and work your way down, making sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of each seam.

8. Turn the skirt inside out and press the hem of the lace trim. This will help the trim lay flat and look neat.
9. Turn the skirt right side out and press the hem again.
10. Sew a zigzag stitch along the edge of the lace trim to secure it in place.
11. Trim any excess thread and press the skirt one last time.
Your skirt is now ready to wear! Sewing lace trim onto a skirt is a great way to add a touch of elegance and femininity to any outfit. With a few simple steps, you can create a unique and stylish look that is sure to turn heads.
