Zlata skirt sewalong: #6 Sew the belt loops



Zlata skirt sewalong: #6 Sew the belt loops

It's time to start sewing, and we should begin by making the belt loops.
If you're making the view C, you can skip this step.
If you're making the view B, you need sew the border panels to the skirt panels first: with right sides together pin the top edge of the border panel to the bottom edge of the skirt panel. Sew the panels together and press the seams open.

Let's get back to the belt loops. Fold the belt loop in half width-wise with right sides together. Pin the layers together and sew them together, ending the stitch at very top edge of the skirt panel (marked with yellow line).

Clip the fabric by a diagonal cut from the top edge of the skit panel towards the bottom of the belt loop, stopping next to the stitch line, and making sure you don't cut the stitch itself.

How to buy the pattern


Stepalica: Zlata skirt pattern
Zlata skirt pattern costs $11.98,and it can be bought via my Etsy shop
I use 2Checkout as a payment collector - it is an equivalent to PayPal - which accepts the following payment methods:

* PayPal via 2checkout (www.2co.com)
* Credit / Debit cards via 2checkout : Visa, Dina Card, Master Card, American Express, Discover

PayPal doesn't support selling option for my country yet, so I use 2Checkout payment collector instead.







When making a purchase order, select "Other" in the payment options. I have to manually issue an invoice for you, via 2Checkout system. The invoice contains a link where you can complete the purchase - it's a page on 2Checkout's website. Once you fill in your billing information, you can chose to pay either by using PayPal account or your credit card. You don't have to register to 2checkout and you won't be charged any additional fees. It's simple, fast and secure. Once the payment is completed, I will enable the pattern download on my Etsy store. I monitor the state of my Etsy store several times a day, and I get instant emails whenever any change is made, so the purchase is usually completed within the same day. Sometimes, due to my daily duties and a time zone differences, it takes more than a day to complete the purchase.

For any additional information about the pattern or the purchase, feel free to email me at: anajan.stepalica [at] gmail [dot] com
