Jocole A-Line Skirt Sew Along: Day 1
/
Jocole's Yoga A-Line Skirt is one of my favorites. It's super comfy but looks really classy. So you'll look amazing, but feel like you're wearing pajamas. What could be better than that?
I loved it SO much I decided to offer it for both Ladies (xs through xxxl) and Girls (18m through 14 + doll) .. did you grab yours? You can use the code "PatternRevolution" for 25% off your *entire* cart. [Code Expires: February 11th 11:59pm PST]

Today is DAY ONE.
We need to do a little preparation work before we can get sewing ... here are your tasks for the day:
- Purchase and download the pattern(s)
- Print pattern pages
- Cut off margins and tape pages together ... aligning the grid lines and the triangles to make diamonds.
- Cut out desired size (or carefully trace desired size onto freezer paper)
- Use the pattern to cut our the pieces in your desired fabric -- make sure to check the stretch gauge to make sure your fabric is stretchy enough (especially for the waistband)
- One Front and One Back (or TWO opposites for the Front and TWO opposites for the Back if you are doing the chevron option)
- One Waistband (use the cutting chart and a rotary cutter ... or a ruler and a pencil to mark and then cut with scissors)
Regular Version; Cut ONE Front piece, ONE Back piece and ONE Waistband
Chevron Version: Cut TWO opposite Front pieces, TWO opposite Back pieces and ONE Waistband
