Closure: Invisible zip in the left side seam.

Finishing: Hem overlocked, turned to the wrong side and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance 1.5 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching the pieces together, make sure the notches match!

From main fabric:
- Back yoke – 1 piece
- Front yoke – 2 pieces
- Skirt gore – 6 pieces
- Waistband – 1 piece
From fusible interfacing:
- Waistband – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

Reinforce the waistband piece with fusible interfacing.
Overlock the upper edges of the gores. Overlock the lower edge of the back yoke. Attach the gores to the back yoke (start and end stitching precisely at the marked gore joining line), press the seam allowances open. Stitch the gores together, press the seam allowances open and overlock.
Overlock the lower edge of the front yoke. Attach the gores to the front yoke (start and end stitching precisely at the marked gore joining line), press the seam allowances open. Stitch the gores together, press the seam allowances open and overlock.
Overlock the left side edges separately on each piece. Stitch the left side seam from the zipper mark to the bottom. Press the seam allowances open. Insert the zipper. Stitch the right side edge, press the seam allowances open and overlock.
Fold the waistband lengthwise in half, right sides together, and stitch the short sides and the transitional end, clip the allowances at the mark. Turn the waistband right side out, press. Attach the outer side of the waistband to the skirt, fold the allowance of the inner side inwards and topstitch into the attaching seam.
Overlock the bottom edge of the skirt, press it to the wrong side and topstitch.
Make the buttonhole on the waistband and sew on the button.
