How to print?
Print the page on an A4 paper. Make sure you have set page sizing to "Actual size" before you print the pattern.
You can measure the 1 inch x 1 inch square in the pattern page to check whether the page has printed correctly.
How to sew?
Step 1: Join the sides of the skirt front and back pieces with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
Step 2: Finish the hemline by folding down the hemline by 1/4 inch and then by 1/4 inch again and sew over the folded edge.
Step 3: Join the sides of the waistband using a 1/4 seam allowance.
Step 4: Fold down the top edge of the waist band by 1/4 inch, and then, with the right sides facing, join the bottom edge of the waistband with the skirt's top edge using a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
Step 5: Fold the waistband in half, and sew over the folded edge leaving a small gap to feed the elastic in. Insert a 0.25-inch-wide, 3.5-inch-long elastic through the casing, and overlap the ends of the elastic by 0.25 inch and sew them together. Sew the gap in the casing closed. That's it!
