4 minutes
YOU WILL NEED
■ Main fabric: 2mx140cm (see notes)
■ Iron-on interfacing: 10x90cm (see notes)
■ 2.5cm wide elastic: see INSERTING THE ELASTIC section
■ Tailor’s chalk or an erasable fabric marker
■ Matching thread
■ Basic sewing kit
NOTES
■ Seam allowance is 1.5cm.
■ Rather than drafting the pattern directly onto fabric, try using dot and cross paper or the back of wrapping paper so you can make the skirt again.
■ Exact amount of fabric, interfacing and elastic required will depend on your measurements. We recommend calculating the size of your pattern pieces before beginning so you can ensure you have the correct materials.
RECOMMENDED FABRICS
■ Aim for light- to medium-weight fabric such as cotton, lawn, viscose or chambray.
