If you aren't confident at stitching darts, this pencil skirt designed by Amanda Walker is a good practise piece as little mistakes will be hidden by the textured surface of your bouclé. Don't be tempted to skip the Petersham inside the waistband, as it adds shape and will prevent it from rolling or creasing as you move.
Cutting Guide
Front: cut one on the fold each in fabric and lining. Back: cut one pair each in fabric and lining. 1.5cm seam allowance used unless otherwise stated.
1 Download and print the pattern. Cut out all of the pieces as indicated in the cutting guide. Use an overlocker or zigzag stitch along the selvedge edges of the bouclé to neaten and prevent fraying.
2 Stitch the darts at the top of the bouclé front, then press towards the centre. Repeat for the two back pieces, then lay them right sides together and stitch the centre seam, beginning at the base of the zip notch and ending at the top of the kick split. Reinforce with a few extra stitches.
3 Fold and press the seam allowance at the openings for the zip and back slit. Open it out again at the zip openin
