Add the markings for the darts.

Step 2
Place the pattern pieces on to the grey woollen fabric following the line of the grain.
Cut the fabric level with the pattern for the edges specified as raw edges. Remember to fold the fabric for the back pattern piece along the fold line.
NB: The pattern does not include hems. The seam allowances are not taken into account on the paper pattern. -
Step 3
Oversew the three pieces of fabric.

Mark and sew the darts.
Place the fronts and back of the fabric right sides together. Sew 5mm (¼in) from the edge.

Step 5
Fold over the bias binding and sew by hand. Leave excess bias binding on the front edge for tying the skirt.
