Added Sandy Instructions

This is a little messy, not going to lie. Skirts both fortunately and unfortunately have many ways to construct things. I have left certain things vauger than I would generally like, like Penelope but this is very much more a guide line rather than a set of rules. I had to split seamless and closure out from eachother as I feel it would be too confusing if they were combined. This feels like it is going to be an ongoing project than a this instructions are done but eh at least it is a start.

<Warning>
Due to the different styles and configurations of Sandy you may find you need to skip or re-order certain steps.
We're not going to go into a full explanation on how to create all the individual details
that make up a circke skirt. These instructions assume that you know how to sew a zipper, construct pockets, etc. If not, there are numerous excellent articles available on the web, both in writen form, and on video. If you do get stuck, you can always reach out to [other FreeSewers](https://discord.freesewing.org/) in our discord.

Pockets are not included in Sandy as it has one seam by default, if you cut multiple skirt pieces instead of a single one you and easily add pockets.
</Note>
### Step 2: Prep the opening
- Insert zipper or placket into opening if using.
- If not using, press the openings seam allowance to the inside and *Edgestitch*/*Topstitch* in place. You may also wish to continue the topstiching down the seam.

### Step 4: The waistband
- Face half the waistbands parts lengthwise.
- With *good sides together* sew the waistbands together along one of the short edges.
- Press under the seam allowance on the long edge of the waistband that is not faced.

- Press the waistband *good sides together* along fold-line.
- Sew the overhangs with your seam allowance.

- Add button and buttonhole, snaps or dress hooks, whatever is your preferred closure to the waistband overhang.
<Tip>
If you are having trouble keeping the pressed under seam allowance of the waistband folded/not staying pressed you may find it helpful to _Baste_ the fold in place.

### Step 5: Hemming/Facing
If you have hemmed the skirt with the lining you can skip this step.
