The construction of the skirt features a front and back skirt filled with pin tucks, princess seams, inseam pockets, an invisible zipper closure at the back, Hong Kong and French seam finishes, and a wide faced hem.

The Garden Skirt is designed for woven fabrics. If sewing French seams, we recommend using a light weight [2 to 5 oz] fabric. A cotton lawn, voile, poplin, a linen or even a silk taffeta or noil would work well. If sewing plain seams, a medium weight [5.5 to 6 oz] fabric is recommended.

Tools required to sew the Garden Skirt include; a sewing machine, fabric scissors, clippers, tailor’s chalk or a heat dissolving pen, an invisible zipper foot, a narrow zipper foot, a regular foot, pins, a sewing needle and an iron.

Notions for the skirt with lining [option A] include; matching thread, 1/4 inch [6 mm] double fold bias binding [if you choose not to make your own], 1/4 inch [6 mm] width twill tape to stabilize waistline of skirt, an invisible zipper that is at least 13 inches [33 cm] in length, 1/2 inch [1.25 cm] width fusible tape to stabilize zipper area [optional] and a hook & eye closure.

Notions for the skirt with facing [option B] include; all of the notions listed above, along with a lightweight fusible interfacing for the SKIRT WAIST FACING [L] piece. NOTE: for sizes 0 to 12 you will need 0.38 yards [0.35 m] of interfacing and for sizes 14 to 26 you will need 0.5 yards [ 0.45 m].

Full instructions on how to print your pattern are included in the PDF instruction manual.
