10 tips:
1. Choose a simple style with few seams
2. Choose light to medium weight wovens like linen, chambray, cotton and wool. Avoid heavy fabrics as they won't drape well. If you are advanced, rayon, silk and satin are marvelous.
3. Solid colors or super busy non directional prints are best
4. Extend the fabric and cut single layer
5. Use a rotary cutter and mat
6. Stabilize specific areas with knit interfacing or woven interfacing cut the straight of grain
7. Be delicate with handling the cut pieces
8. Stay stitch the edges of the pattern pieces carefully without pulling and letting the fabric hang off the table
9. Press seams open. No back and forth.
10. Hang for a day before hemming
My Specifics:
* Size 14
* Skirt length 59cm includes 2cm hem
* Waistband is 3 inches by the length needed for the skirt circumference plus extra seam allowance. This will result in 1 1/4" waistband.
*Pattern pieces cut in single layer with fabric extended
*I put my cutting mat on the floor to cut the skirt pieces with my rotary cutter
*Bias cut skirt
