Simplicity 2258 View C Part 1

Simplicity 2258 View C

(short skirt ) Sew Along

What you'll need to get started

Fabric - How much depends on the pattern size and fabric width . Since I was making mine in a size 6 and using 45" fabric I used 1 1/2 yd.   For a great explanation on how to determine pattern size and how to lay/cut fabric click here.

1 1/4" wide Elastic- long enough to go around your waist.

Thread

prewashed fabric, thread, elastic



Fabric scissors, seam ripper (just in case),  measuring tape, pins
I don't have a serger so I will use pinking shears to finish seams
 

Pinning and Cutting Fabric

• Lay your pattern pieces on your fabric. Pin in place and cut. You can follow layout 3A on the pattern directions if your pattern does not have a nap.  

 Pattern pieces 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 if you want the belt

Make sure your grain line is straight.  I measure across the fabric/pattern piece to make sure it is the same distance from every point.  If you need to learn more grains and cutting
you can read a great explanation  by  Rachael Myers.



The same pattern piece is used for the long skirt so make sure
you fold the pattern along the cutting line for view C.

 

Cut your pattern pieces. Make sure you mark/cut the notches (little triangles on the pattern) on your fabric.
