Fold your fabric in half in the direction of the Laize, taking care to align the tiles in your fabric. Draw with pins or a tailor chalk, the dimensions of your skirt according to the diagram below.
Your waist tower will allow you to define the width of your skirt: size tower /4 = width of your skirt on the pattern. We have chosen to make a skirt 50cm high, but you can have this length adapted according to your desires. Expand the base of your skirt by adding 15cm to your waist; You can also enlarge the trapeze shape if you wish.
Once this shape has been drawn, add the seam margins of 1cm all around and 3cm for the hem at the bottom of the skirt and cut.

2. Once your in front of skirts cut out from the fabric, place it on your fabric folded in half to cut the same shape while respecting the alignment of the tiles of your fabric.

3. Draw and cut the samples of the skirt by taking up the top of the skirt on 8cm high. You get 2 pieces for the skirt and 2 pieces for the facing.
If your fabric is too fluid, you can cut a strip of thermocollant for your two facial parts and heat -make them to ensure better rendering.
