 I just finished cutting out the full figure straight skirt drafted pattern.  Where is the stitching line for the center back (from the bottom of the zipper to the hemlnie)?  How do I stitch the abutted slit? TThe back cutting line angles out from the center back line of the skirt, and there is no indication as to where to stitch.  Please help.

Re: How to Sew Center Back Seam and Abutted Slit of Skirt

Dear Jan,

Please watch the: Straight and Tapered Skirt Block Pattern Making (Drafting) Video Lessons. Specifically pay close attention to this chapter: 14. Adding Seam and Hem Allowances and Skirt Sewing from a Pattern Video Lessons again.

Since you are not sewing in a lining, you can disregard the sections showing how to cut and insert a lining.

I have shown step by step what you need to do to sew the slit area as well.

Happy sewing,

Nehza
