Hi Liesl,

I’m making the Garibaldi Skirt in size 12 with pockets and waistband. I’m having trouble fitting the waistband to the skirt. The notches don’t line up and the band appears to be approx 1 1/2 inches too short. I only printed the size 12. I even used the patterns to try and line up in case it was a cutting or sewing error.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Mandy

Thanks for your patience while I’ve been out on medical leave. Hmm, can you posts photos so we can try to troubleshoot for you? Which view are you sewing: View A with the pockets and waistband?

I had the same issue as Mandy with size 12, view A. Waistband was 1.5 inches too short.

I’m checking the pattern and it measures exactly the same as the skirt waist. Could it be that you cut the wrong size facing? Or maybe the fabric stretched? The facing measures exactly the same as the waist for all the sizes…
