Slim fitting jeans skirt with a back split and shaped waist band.
Skill level: Experienced
Our heavy duty denim 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.
1.5cm seam allowance is included in the pattern unless otherwise stated.
Fabric Suggestions:
Denim or heavy cotton drill (up to 14oz with a heavy duty sewing machine)
