Create an A-Line Skirt Pattern

1. Measure about where you want the waist to be.
   
2. Take the measurement of the waist, add two inches and then divide by four.
   
3. Draw this at the top of your paper. (Fig. 12)
   
4. Draw a line from the edge of this line to the bottom corner of the paper. This line is going to be the length of the skirt. (Fig. 13)
   
5. Draw a curved line from the edge of the page, to the new line to finish the pattern. (Fig. 14)
   

Create a Waistband Pattern

1. Take the waist measurement and add two inches.
   
2. Make a rectangle that is an inch to an inch and a half wide.

From here you can do all sorts of things to alter. For mine, I wanted really puffy sleeves, so I drew
the curve bigger and angled the lines.
