Measurements
Full length
Waist round + 2”
Hip level
Hip round + 2’
Belt width
2” extra is added to the original waist round and hip round for ease.If you want more you can add more.
Stitching
Join the sides of 8 panels side by side as shown in the figure 2 .While stitching start from the waist line end and end at the hem line.
Finally first panel is joined to the eighth panel in the same way leaving 3” from the waist line for opening and stitching the rest till the hem.
Turn the each side of the opening twice inside with in the seam line and stitch. (Figure2)
Measure the waist line .Cut a strip of cloth PQRS whose width equal to belt width+ 1" and length equal to the waist line + 1”( See Figure 1)
. Fold short edges P-R and Q-S ¼” inch first press and fold again by ¼” and stitch.
Pin one of the long edges P-Q or R-S to the strip of cloth to the waist line keeping right side of the strip and the wrong side of the garment together and stitch having ½” seam allowance.
Turn the strip up and press.
Fold the raw edge of the waist band by ½” and press.
Now fold the entire waist band towards the right side of the petticoat and place the folded edge on top of the stitch which is used to attach strip to waistline and stitch.
Finish the hem by folding it twice . You can also finish the hem by attaching frills or lace. In that case full length A-B should be reduced according to the width of the frill or lace.
Pass a draw string of required length through the waist band. At least 6”of the band should be outside the waist band. Secure the draw string to the waist band in the middle by a few stitches so that draw string does not come out while washing.

A-B =full length –belt width +2”.
From A draw a line A-D perpendicular to line A-B and equal to half of waist round /8+½”.
Mark C on the line A-B equal to hip level + 1/2".
From C draw a line C-E perpendicular to A-B and equal to half hip round /8 +½”.
From the point B draw a line perpendicular to A-B. Join D-E and produce. This line meets the perpendicular line drawn from B at the point F.
On the line D-F mark point H such that F-H = ¼”.
Join G-D by a curved line as shown I the figure.
On the line A-B mark point G such that A-G =¼’
Join G-D by a curved line as shown in the figure.
Cut along the line A-D-E-H-B-C-A. This is the draft of one piece or panel.
