Hello my lovely friends of skillshare community, is a thing of joy to see that you are doing well and safe.

Today I'm delighted to share with you how i can used half yard of fabric to make short palazzo,you may used hand stitches but since I owned sewing machine I decided to used it.
This short palazzo can be done within a view minutes or more depending on how fast you are.

First of all I take my measurement, it involves;-

• length - 20

• waist - 36
• hips -41

• laps -28

Round knee -15

Crotch - 9 1/2

To set the ball rolling

This is my material (strips vintage fabric)

First of all I have to look at the design of my material,and my own is strips so I have to position it this way as you see in the picture above.

Front Pattern:-

I fold my material into two and begin to mark my measurement on the table.
To determine my crotch I used my waist measurement and divide it by four (36÷4=8 1/2) then I add my seam allowance to make it nine half inches (9 1/2") as you see in the diagram.

I place my tape to where I have 9 1/2" and
mark my crotch, mark my hip point and kneen point.

NOTE; in cutting and sewing of trousers is only the waist and hip measurement will be divided by four while from lap to knee will be divided by two.

Since I fold the material into two I mark

waist 9 1/2"
Hips 10 1/2"
Knee 7 1/2"
After the marking i used hand sketching to draw my crotch from the waist line to crotch line then I used ruler and draw from the crotch line to the finishing line and cut it out.

Back Pattern:

After cutting the front pattern I place it on the remaining material to cut my back pattern and I decided not to add back allowance because it's a stretch material then i cut it out, now am done with my cutting I begin to sew
First, I stitch the crotch both front and back, I do my shaping and bend the kneen using 2inches.

Finally, I cut my waist band by 4inches and fold it into two and place on the bad side and stitch then I turn it to the good side and stitch it. my short palazzo is ready for wearing.

You can be wearing it inside the house or in the morning and also in the kitchen
