Sewing project progress: full gathered skirt in red dupioni

So as I mentioned, I have gone to work on my first serious sewing project, a full gathered skirt in a red silk dupioni. I made a fair bit of progress ths weekend and I wanted to document it here. 

( Making the waistband, basting for the gathers... )

So that's what I've done so far. The next steps will be pressing the waistband, and then sewing the skirt up into it. Not quite sure how that will work, I think it will involve attaching it to just the interfacing so it doesn't show on the fashion fabric, but I'm not certain. I will have to refer back to my instructions. But I'll take more pictures once I progress.
