I’m glad you like this style! What about pairing it with our Garibaldi Skirt so you have the waisband and a flared skirt? You could add a back zipper to make it easy to get in and out.

Good question! I aligned the patterns this way because they would be really messy and confusing to follow if I had aligned them the traditional way, but it can certainly cause confusion, yes!

I would suggest tracing one size, then aligning that tracing over the center frnot/back for the second size to trace it as well. Then you can blend as desired.

Thanks for your patience. I’ve been dealing with a family matter this past week and haven’t been online.

I imagine you’ve checked to be absolutely sure you’ve cut the right sizes for all the pieces, right? One additional thing you could try to…[Read more]

I’ve sewn this style mostly with cotton jersey, so good recovery is not strictly necessary, but obviously a fabric with more spandex will retain its shape better. I hope that helps!
