Circle Skirts!

Casey at Elegant Musings is doing a Circle Skirt Sew-Along that I'm excited about. While I can't commit to actually doing it, I will be interested to follow it. Earlier this year I made my first circle skirt. There are a lot of things I like about it, but I'm not happy with how the waistband turned out. I used a pretty heavy fabric and didn't really reinforce the waist and so it stretches and doesn't stay as high or tight as I'd like it to be. In other words, after a few hours the band ends up around what is now considered the waist (more technically the hips) instead of my true waist. I wanted it to have a definite vintage feel, so this is quite a drawback. I haven't figured out how to fix it yet without a lot of trouble. So I'm interested to watch how Casey does her skirt and what I can learn from it for mine.
