Sewing Instructions
Fabric Pieces
After cutting your fabric, you should have two symmetrical pieces. One front and one back.
Stitches
For this project, it's recommended to use a serger overlock stitch, a stretch stitch, or a zigzag stitch. Avoid using a straight stitch as it may cause the threads to snap.
STEP 1
Stack your front and back pieces with their right sides together. Sew the side seams and match the shoulder seams using a stretch stitch, zigzag, or serger.
STEP 2
Hem the top straps and edges all around. For a polished finish, utilize a rolled hem foot, rolling 0.25” twice. Alternatively, fold the seam allowance once and secure with a zigzag stitch.
STEP 3
Complete the bottom of the skirt by hemming it with a zigzag stitch.
