    You can either hot glue it with a hot glue gun, or sew it by hand with a thin needle.

    Can you make just a skirt like that?

    Yes, you can. You will need a rubber strip or a drawstring at the waist to tighten, it though. Check out the article on How to Make a Maxi Skirt . Disregard all of the steps except for the instructions on how to stitch in the rubber.

    Which types of fabrics should not ever be used when making summer dresses from bed sheets?
