Full Figure Skirt Block Pattern-Making (Videos)

Learn how to make full figure straight skirt block patterns with abutted slits using the Nehzat Houshan method.

This will help you achieve perfectly fitted skirts that fall well on the body and with hemlines that are parallel to the floor! You will learn how to measure the body, calculate the darts, add seam and hem allowances, draw the fold and lengthwise grain lines.

Before cutting and sewing your fabric, I recommend testing your pattern on muslin fabric, to make sure your pattern fits you.
