Sewing the Elastic

I am a complete beginner here and the Lazy Days skirt is my very first attempt at making something.


When you sew the rectangle that joins the two ends of the elastic are you meant to machine sew that? I hand sewed it because I couldn't conceive of how to manage such a tight spot with the machine.


The instructions say to lockstitch when you get to the end. What does this mean? I've googled it and it all refers to machine sewing. Can you lock stitch by hand?


Thanks a bunch!
