Instructions:
To Create the Pattern
1. Use the tape measure to find the
following personal measurements:
• Waist + 1” (for ease) + 2.5” (seam
allowances) divided by 4 = your
pattern waist measurement.
• Desired skirt 1” = your
pattern length measurement.
2. Use the edge of the tissue paper for
the center front (and back) of the
pattern. Remember, because
your pattern will be placed on the
fold it is one fourth of the skirt full
measurement.
To draw the main skirt front and
back pattern piece, use the pencil
and ruler to evenly map out the
pattern waist and pattern length
measurements.
