Finished garment, measured flat. Waist is relaxed on the elastic. Length is at the centre front, from the top fold to the hem; the back is about 3 cm longer at the centre. Inches / centimetres.

Key details
  • Two pieces, each cut on the fold. The front waist dips 2 cm at the centre and the back is 3 cm longer.
  • French seams at the sides and a folded-in casing, so every seam inside is enclosed.
  • The elastic is about two thirds of the top edge, which gives soft gathers all round the waist.
  • The hem is a narrow rolled overlock hem. The workflow shows another way to finish it without one.
  • Choose by your waist: it suits a waist of about 72, 77, 82, 87, 93 and 101 cm, and hips up to 100, 105, 110, 115, 121 and 130 cm, XS to XXL.
Pattern pieces
  • Front (cut 1 on the fold)
  • Back (cut 1 on the fold)
  • Waist elastic (cut 1, elastic)
