SEWING INSTRUCTIONS



Seam allowance - Sew a ¼” seam unless otherwise
stated.
“Finish off the seam” – This is to prevent fraying.
If you do not have a serger, then use an overlock or
zigzag stitch on your machine. Fray check can also
be used. A nice zigzag to use on your machine: Set
stitch length 2 and stitch width 2.
“Finish off the seam” for 2 layers - Trim the
seam slightly and zigzag.

zigzag stitch.

of the skirt. Finish off the seam with a zigzag
stitch or serger.
6. Turn the skirt right side out.
