Pattern cutting- development of my skirt front

SKIRT FRONT

1. I traced the front skirt block. Which was my first draft.

2. I added 10cm extra flare to the centre front and 10cm to side.

3. I took a line down from the bottom of the dart to the hem. This measured 59cm.
4. I then measured 59cm on the hem. Shaping the skirt to fit.

5. I then extended my hip line.

6. I slashed up the dart. Removing the dart.

7. I could have simplt slashed and spread the dart but that would have only given me 10cm. I wanted 20cm.

8. I added 10cm to the area I spread the dart. I then measured from the top of the waist to the hem 59cm which is the length of the skirt.

9. I marked this and then removed the excess length

10. I then repeated this process on the skirt front side panel.

11. I then checked the length on all pattern pieces to check they were accurate.

SKIRT BACK

1. I repeated the process on the back skirt. The only difference was that I had to slash and spread two darts, adding 5cm to each edge of the draft this then matched the size of the front skirt.

2. I then added 1.5cm seam allowance to each pattern piece.
