Creation of an English seam

2. You will make an English seam which is ideal for pretty finishes on fluid tissues. To do this, bend against your fabric in the sense of width.

3. Sew 0.5cm from the edge of the fabric.

4. Cut the need if your seam is over 0.5cm from the edge of the fabric.

5. Turn your fabric and mark the seam with an iron. Spread along the previous sewing.

6. Sew 1cm from the edge of the fabric. The previous seam is thus invisible because it is hidden in the new seam.

Belt and installation of the elastic

7. Mark a first decline of 1cm on the top of your skirt.

8. Mark and pin a second 6cm withdrawal.

9. Sew 0.2cm from the edge of your withdrawal, not forgetting to leave a space of 5cm to slide the elastic later.

10. Make a second seam parallel to 3cm to the right of the previous one.

11. Measure the length of the elastic that you want according to your waist tower and the elasticity of your elastic, then place a dinner pin on one end of your elastic and insert the little by little into the slide of Your skirt. Ex: for a 38-40 you can have about 80cm of elastic.

12. Join the two ends of your elastic.

13. Sew the two ends of the elastic together.

14. Close the opening on your skirt with a seam to reach the previous sewing line.

15. Distribute the elastic in the slides of your skirt.
