The Flatlock Skirt

Description

The Flatlock Skirt is an easy straight skirt is entirely constructed using the 3-Thread Flatlock Stitch.   Use a dense version of the stitch to create a pop of color along all the vertical seams.  Then increase the stitch length to attach the waistband.  Increase it some more to treat the hem to the “Not So Blind – Blind Hem” technique.  I designed this skirt for bottom weight knits with at least 10% stretch… such as French Terry and Ponte Knit.  Use Woolly Nylon in the Needle to create decorative reverse flatlock details.

This skirt is easy to fit.  Select a size that matches your full hip measurement.  Baste the side seams together after constructing the CF/CB seams to test the fit.   Trim the side seam edges if the skirt is too loose.
