Key Design Features

Silhouette: A-line, flaring from the waist to the hem.

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

Beginner. Three pattern pieces, one stitched pleat, a concealed zipper, a waistband and a buttonhole.

Fabric Recommendations

Firm skirt fabrics of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

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 Skirt – 1 piece
Back Skirt – 1 piece on fold
Waistband – 1 piece

From fusible interfacing:

Waistband – 1 piece
