I love circle skirts. You make it look so easy. The one tip for hand sewing that I got my big sister who hand quilted,was run your thread once across real beeswax. It honestly keeps the thread from tangling and twisting as compared to unwaxed. I always keep my disc of beeswax in my sewing box!

Re the bubble problem, I find that interfacing tends to expand slightly as it's ironed on. If I start in the middle and gradually work my way out to the edges, I end up with few or no bubbles, but instead have to trim off a couple of millimeters of overhanging interfacing.

Due to the bulk and felt not fraying another better way to finish your waistband is to lay the inside flat do not fold the seam allowance up inside then pin flat. Then on the right side machine stitch along the seam line pushing the stitch up under the roll as you sew. When finished the fabric rolls over your stitches making it invisible and in the inside it is flat and less bulky. Hope you understand this but it is a far superior finish for felt skirts.
