A popular gored skirt that is SIM
pie to make and hattering to wear
buttons down the side, and may
be worn open to display the shorts
beneath. Purchase the pattern by
your waist size, but if your hips
are more than nine inches larger
than your waist, buy a size larger
pattern. It is easier to adjust a
waistline than a hipline on the
shorts. The skirt should be about
an inch longer than the snorts, COM
ing just to the knee or slightly
above.
When making buttonholes on the
skirt, you can speed up the pro-
cess by using the buttonhole at
tachment on your sewing machine.
