Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: well-draping skirt fabrics made from natural or blended fibers. ALSO NEEDED: fusible interfacing; 1 button; concealed zipper.
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 – 1.5 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! ATTENTION! Inscriptions on the patterns are made on the right side.

Sewing Instructions
- Interface the pieces with fusible interfacing.
- Stitch the darts on the back panel piece, press the fullness towards the center of the pieces.
- Stitch the front princess seams. Overcast the allowances and press towards the center.
- Overcast the left side seams separately. Stitch the left side seam from the zipper mark to the bottom. Press the allowances open. Insert the concealed zipper. Stitch the right side seam, press the allowances towards the back panel and overcast.
- Fold the waistband in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch the short side and the extension. Start stitching strictly at the marked line for attaching the waistband to the skirt. At the mark, clip the allowances, turn the waistband right side out and press. Attach the outer side of the waistband to the upper edge, turn under the inner side and topstitch into the attachment seam.
- Overcast the hem allowance, fold to the wrong side and topstitch. Alternatively, you can finish with a "French seam" (American seam), for this you need to trim the allowance to 0.5 cm.
- Work a buttonhole on the waistband. Sew on the button.
