Hand Sewn Three-Tiered Maxi Skirt- Part 2

So this took so much longer than expected because Mistakes started happening 🥲
So, I finished sewing the waistband and it was perfect! Then I started with the two tier-one panels next.
I drew on the seam allowance to use as guidelines because I can't sew straight to save my life.
I sewed the two panels together to make one long panel and I tried to iron the seam allowance to make it easier to fold.
😬😬😬🙃🙃🙃🫣🫣🫣
Unfortunately, my fabric is polyester and my iron was on the cotton setting. It got shrunk and burned and I couldn't salvage it.
Thankfully, I was able to buy more fabric after work the next day! I cut out the tier-one panels again and securely pinned down the seams so I could sew them. I folded them in half and sewed them to each other with a sitch I don't know the name of, but kinda looks like a blanket stitch at first glance.
Here comes the incredibly hard part: pinning the tier to the waistband.
I confused myself for a while and I wasn't sure which side I was supposed to pin it on 🥲 It took me two days to figure out 🥲🥲🥲
I also had trouble lining everything up and kept pinning the tier too far away from the stitching of the waistband. I finally figured it all out though and got to sewing.
I sewed right next to the stitching of the waistband so it looks flush. That's two, more or less neat rows of running back stitches!
Here's the other side, showing the gathering.
Here's how perfect the front looks! You can't tell that I struggled with this at all!
And here's the seam allowance that joins the two panels again. I thought it would look better smaller, so I undid the stitches, cut the seam allowance in half, folded it in half and sewed it all together again.
I tried to do the same with the seam allowance between the waistband and tier, but... 😬😬😬🫣🫣🫣
I cut them a bit too short... among other things. Instead, I'm going to cut a strip of fabric and sandwich the seam allowance between it.
It was a good thing after all that I had to buy that extra fabric!

Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #1
Update 0 | Here | Update 2 | Update 3 | Update 4 | Update 5 | Update 6
Technically this is update #2, but the first post was very bare-bones.
So, to get you up-to-date:
I decided to make a granny square maxi skirt. I started with the light blue yarn as that was what I had. I bought the multi-coloured blue yarn next and planned to make a 2 coloured skirt.
I needed to do some math to see how many squares I needed to make. Here it is:
Granny squares- 4 inches Hip measurement- 36 inches Length of skirt- 32 inches
Divide the measurements by the length of granny squares: 36 ÷ 4 = 9 and 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Multiply the results: 8 X 9 = 72
So I have 72 granny squares to crochet. To get how many I need to crochet in each colour, I divide 72 by 2 which is 36.
This changed when my sister said I should add a next colour.
I stuck with my blue theme of course. This addition meant that the math had to change. So now I divided 72 by 3 and got 24 which seems much more manageable to me even though I still have to crochet 72 granny squares.
I'm pretty close to my goal! I believe I have 15 or 16 of each at the time of writing this post.
My hands get REALLY sore after a short while crocheting, so I only crochet 3 a day. It's slow going but I'd rather practice patience than bust up my hands.
I also recently got these cute stitch markers! I'm not working on any projects that need stitch markers at the moment, but they worked really well at holding my squares together so I could see how the skirt looked so far!

Yall, the number sixty and nine is flagged as inappropriate on Tumblr!
I'm doing a daily art challenge and the post with that number was hidden for being En-Ess-Eff-Double-You or whatever. It was NOT. It was just a drawing of my OC!
Just letting you know if you innocently sixty and nined it all over your post and have been wondering why it's not getting any likes and reblogs.
This was the post in question for me. I didn't know what the problem was until I changed the number to words.
(pretend there's a rolling eyes emoji here. I'm on my desktop)
the problem with everyone becoming a reviewer and essayist now is that, plainly and gently, a lot of these people are not smart enough for the position
Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #3
Update 0 | Update 1 | Update 2 | Here | Update 4 | Update 5 | Update 6
Coming down to the last 6 squares for each colour! I've been weaving in all the ends as I complete each square using this needle I got in an assorted needle set. I have those plastic needles, but the eye holes are too big to go through my stitches. I need a threader (the yellow thing) to thread this needle, but other than that, it works like a dream!
