Back: One piece cut on the fold, with no centre back seam.

Waist: Straight interfaced waistband, the inner edge folded under and stitched in the ditch of the attaching seam.

Finishing: Hem finished, pressed 2 cm to the wrong side and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance 2 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Note! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side.

From main fabric:
- Front – 1 piece
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Waistband – 1 piece
From fusible interfacing:
- Waistband – 1 piece
