Make a patch pocket skirt

Download the skirt pattern and print out. Cut the pieces following the guide, making sure two back pieces are reversed (one in fabric, one in lining). Check that the cord runs vertically to the pattern and that the print matches up for the front and back fabric pieces. Using tailor’s chalk, mark the position for the zip and the darts onto the reverse of all pieces as indicated on the pattern.
Iron interfacing onto the back of the fabric pocket pieces and the waistband facing. Overlock or zig zag stitch the raw edges to prevent them from fraying. Pin a 16cm length of ric rac 4cm down from the top raw edge on one fabric pocket piece, and machine stitch in place. Pin a lining and fabric pocket piece together, right sides facing, and machine stitch around the shape leaving a 5cm gap on one side. Turn the pocket through and press. Top stitch across the top of the pocket.
