How to sew the Tarragon Overlay Skirt:
1- Pin and sew the under skirt at center back.
2- Repeat step 1 with the overlay skirt, pin and sew at center back.
3- When working with delicate fabrics, use a piece of muslin over the fabric to press the seams open.
4- Pin the two skirt layers together, sheer over solid, and sew 1/4″ at the top.
5- To sew the elasticated waistband, stack the two layers of fabric and fold them right sides together. Sew 1/4″ along the edge.
6- Turn the waistband right side out, then remove any beads that are on the inner side of the waist.
7- Right sides together, sew the waistband onto the skirt. Leave a small opening at the back to insert the elastic.
8- Use a safety pin on one end of the elastic to bring it through the waistband. Calculate a good amount needed to scrunch the waist, then sew the elastic together with a zig-zag stitch.
9- As the final step, hem the bottom of both skirt layers separately with a rolled hem.
In the realm of fashion, every stitch is a brushstroke and you are the artist. As you design and sew, let these projects be a reminder that your creations have the power to make a statement. Fashion is your canvas, paint it with passion!

Just to check… 1/2 inch seam allowance?
Correct, 1/2″ seam allowance
El patrón lo tiene disponible en formato AO por que eso son muchas papel que se utiliza…
Hola, para que el patron sea gratis se mantiene en A0.
Love the pattern. How did you close the hole on the waistband after inserting and sewing the zigzag stitch on the elastic?
Hello, match the two ends right sides together and sew, then finish by sewing to the skirt.
I love this pattern, but the fabric I’d like to use is a woven fabric, not knit. Do you think this pattern can work with a non-stretch fabric? Thank you!
Yes, this pattern would also work and look great with a woven fabric
Superbe modèle mais je pense que s’asseoir doit être difficile !!!! Perles au niveau des fesses comment procéder ?
C’est une très bonne observation, Claire! Je suggérerais de retirer les perles de la zone. Si vous n’aimez pas son apparence, vous pouvez utiliser le tissu perlé uniquement sur la moitié avant de la jupe et utiliser un tissu transparent assorti pour la moitié arrière.

Will it work with 45” fabric or does it have to be wider?
Hi Alice, 45″ fabric should be a good amount for this pattern.
