Faux Drawstring Skirt
by Jil Cappuccio
(Shown on page 40 of Stitch magazine, Winter 2008)
This mid-calf A-line skirt masquerades as a drawstring skirt by using a
clever waistband tie and zipper. Made with eco-friendly Tencel fabric,
use different colors for the hem contrast and skirt body for a fun
look. Contrast top stitching adds another pop of color.

Guide to Full-Size Pattern PDF
- Download
the PDF and save the file where you will find it easily. Once the
pattern has downloaded, open the file and check that it has downloaded
fully. The first page of the PDF is a layout drawing of the assembled
tiles; use this as a guide while putting together the pieces of the
pattern.
- Print the document as is, at 100%. DO NOT
SCALE TO FIT and DO NOT CROP. The files are set up to be printed on
letter-size paper (8 ½ x 11").
- To ensure that the
pattern has printed at the correct scale, find the page containing the
TEST SQUARE. The TEST SQUARE should be 2 x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm).
- To begin assembling the pattern, cut off or fold the margin on all sides of each page.
The pages are numbered in rows, so the first row of pages is numbered 1A,
1B, 1C, etc. Line up the rows and match the dotted lines together so
they overlap. Tape the pages together, using the illustrated guide to
match each piece. Once complete, find your size, pin your pattern to
the fabric, and follow the coordinating line to cut out or trace the
pattern.
