How to Sew a Double Slit Mini Skirt

Step 1: Download and print the free PDF pattern from the link below. . Make sure you print it at 100% scale and check the test square to ensure the correct size. The pattern has two pieces: the front and the back. Cut out the pieces and tape them together along the dashed lines.

Step 2: Fold your fabric in half, right sides together, and place the pattern on top of it. Pin the pattern to the fabric and cut around it, leaving a 1/4 inch seam allowance. You should have two identical pieces of fabric.

Step 3: Mark the slit lines on the front and back pieces. The slit lines are indicated by the solid lines on the pattern. You can use a fabric marker, chalk, or pins to mark them.

Step 4: Sew along the slit lines, starting from the bottom edge and stopping about 2 inches from the top edge. Backstitch at the beginning and end of each seam. Cut the seam allowance along the slit lines, being careful not to cut the stitches.

Step 7: Now, you need to sew the waistband to the skirt. To do this, place the waistband pieces right sides together, matching the short edges. Pin and sew along the short edges, using a 5/8 inch seam allowance. Press the seam allowances open. Fold the waistband in half, wrong sides together, and press it. Then, unfold the waistband and pin it to the top edge of the skirt, right sides together, matching the side seams and the notches. Sew along the top edge, using a 5/8 inch seam allowance. Press the seam allowances up and the waistband down.
