I have included a first page with many details about sizing and\nprinting, so please first read the first page and make sure you know what size\nyou need! If you still do not know how to print a layered PDF, please check for\nthe instruction <a href=\"https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/index.php\/how-to-print-tianas-closet-patterns\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can print this using your home\nprinter and A4\/Letter paper. I calculated the printing area so that you will be\nable to use either type of paper to print the pattern out perfectly. Always\nprint the first page first and check with the test square if you are printing\nat the right scale before you print out the whole pattern \u2013 avoid waste of ink\nand waste of paper, save the earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some PC may print smaller than actual\nsize even when you choose 100% scale \u2013 I don\u2019t know why this problem exist, but\nmy HP laptop cannot print true to size. I have to scale up to 103% to get the\nright size. You may need to check with your PC to see if it prints true to\nsize, if not, scale up a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW TO SEW THE KATHRYN ELASTIC WAIST TIERED SKIRT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This skirt is extremely easy and quick to\nsew \u2013 especially when it does not have an invisible zipper at the back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You will need<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fabric of your\nchoice <\/li><li>Some elastic for\nthe waist<\/li><li>Scissors, pencil or\nfabric marker, ruler, pins<\/li><li>Sewing machine or\nneedle and thread<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What fabric can be used for this project?\nAlthough it depends on your choice, I recommend using woven fabric. If you want\nto use stretch fabric, go down one size for better fit. Opt for soft flowy\nfabric for a romantic look, solid color or fun prints, each will create a\nunique style (did you see the prints and colors I used in the 3D simulation?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much fabric do you need for this piece\nof garment? You may need to check how much fabric you need before buying. It\nwill depend on the selected pattern size, the width, and design of the fabric\nyou plan to use. Just to be sure, print all the paper patterns and lay them out\nat the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from 90 to 150 centimeters or\n35 to 60 inches). Measure how much fabric you will need. Don\u2019t forget to\naccount for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut\non the fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cutting instruction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After printing out and taping all the pattern\npages together, you will get something similar to this image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"464\" src=\"http:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-11-1024x464.jpg\" alt=\"Kathryn elastic waist tiered skirt - free sewing pattern\" class=\"wp-image-7644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-11-1024x464.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-11-200x91.jpg 200w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-11-500x227.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-11-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-11-768x348.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-11.jpg 1164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>You will see that there are 2 sets of\nlines on each pattern size. The inner lines are sewing line (and you sew along\nthese lines), and the outer lines are cutting lines (you cut the fabric along\nthese lines, remember the folding lines where you have to fold the fabric\nbefore cutting). The distance between sewing line and cutting line is seam\nallowance, and it varies from point to point. For example, the side seam\nallowance is about 1\/2 inch (1.2cm), and seam allowance at hemline is 1 inch\n(2.5cm). This is the reason why I do not remove the sewing lines from the\npattern. Please use it as a guide to know how much seam allowance you need to\ngive at each seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fabric will be cut into following pieces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Waistband: 1 piece\n(cut on the fold)<\/li><li>Top skirt: 2 piece\n(cut on the fold)<\/li><li>Lower skirt\n(flounce): 2 piece (cut on the fold)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to mark all notches and other\ndesign features such as pleats etc. from the pattern piece onto your fabric.\nWhen sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sewing instruction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Serge the fabric to prevent fraying.\nIf you use non fraying fabric (like fleece or knitted fabric), you can skip\nthis step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Sew two parallel lines at the top edge\nof the lower skirt piece (about 1\/8 inch and 1\/4 inch from the top edge) using\nlongest stitch length. Gently pull the lower threads to gather the fabric so it\nmatches the bottom edge of the upper skirt piece, remember to distribute the\ngathering evenly for a nice skirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Place the upper edge of the gathered\nlower skirt piece and the bottom edge of the upper skirt piece right side\nfacing. Pin and sew to join. Repeat with the other pair of lower and upper\nskirt pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Place the two pieces of back and front skirt right side facing, match the joined seam. Pin and sew the side seam of the skirt. You can also add side seam pocket for the skirt (tutorial here: <a href=\"https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/index.php\/2018\/02\/23\/adding-side-seam-pockets-to-the-dress\/\">Adding side seam pocket to a garment<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Sew the two short ends of the\nwaistband pieces together. Press the seam open. Fold the waistband piece in\nhalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Pin the waistband to the main skirt\n(right side of skirt and waistband facing each other). Sew to join the\nwaistband. Leave a 2 inch (5cm) opening to insert elastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Insert elastic. Sew the elastic close.\nClose the opening at the waistband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Hem the skirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-4.jpg\" alt=\"Kathryn elastic waist tiered skirt - free sewing pattern\" class=\"wp-image-7639\" width=\"464\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-4-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-4-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-4-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-4-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-8.jpg\" alt=\"Kathryn elastic waist tiered skirt - free sewing pattern\" class=\"wp-image-7643\" width=\"455\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-8.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-8-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-8-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-8-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-8-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-8-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt-8-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And here is the download link: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Kathryn-elastic-waist-tiered-skirt.pdf\">KATHRYN ELASTIC WAIST TIERED SKIRT (SIZE XXS-5XL)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy sewing!
