Slim fitting jeans skirt with a back split and shaped waist band. This is a pattern that we would advise making a toile first, firstly to adjust the fit if needed but secondly to familiarise with the pattern instructions.
Suggested Fabric:
8-12.5oz denim (up to 14oz with a heavy duty sewing machine)
You will also need:
- Matching thread
- 7" metal jeans zip - buy here
- Jeans needle
- Large eye sewing needle
- Plain cotton fabric for pocket bags
- Heavy duty contrast thread/top stitching thread
- Matching standard contrast thread (to use in the bobbin)
- 1 x button approx 18mm
We have found that a heavy duty thread rather than a topstitch thread gives a more authentic look to the topstitching and is easier to use. You may find that you get a better stitch using a matching standard "sew all" thread in the bobbin.
This is a multi-size paper pattern in an envelope.
