We will add ribbon to your side slits to give the skirt a nice gathered look at the bottom. You don't have to do this part, you can simply leave your side slits as they are. The lacing helps to give the skirt a finished look.

Use a grommet punch or simply a pair of scissors. a grommet punch makes this step much quicker. Make a small hole at the top of the slit, cutting through both layers. Keep about a half inch from the edge of your slit. Continue to make holes every inch until you have made five holes and reached the 4" mark on your measuring tape. Use the photo above as a guide.

When your holes are in place, add the ribbon
