Skirt
The skirt is a piece of clothing worn around the waist. For decades, skirts have been in fashion, while
their designs and patterns have changed over time. Moreover, the best thing about skirts is that you can wear
them on every occasion, whether you have to dress casually or formally. The straight and pleated skirts give
the women an elegant look.

Facings and Interfacings

Facings are pieces of cloth attached at the edge of the garment to prevent from raveling, for
reinforcement, for decoration, and for special purposes.
 Interfacings are pieces of fabric used between the facing and the outer fabric of a garment to add body
and give support to the garment area.
Your guide probably tells you how to lay these pattern pieces out on the interfacing.
 Lay the fabric pieces out on your interfacing. The wrong side of the fabric should be against the
interfacing. If you are using fusible interfacing, have the fusible side up, toward the fabric.
 Pin the facing pieces down, and cut out the interfacing. Your facing pieces are ready for the next step.
For fusible interfacing, trim about ½″ of the interfacing away from around the edges, then follow the
manufacturer's directions to attach the interfacing.
 For non-fusible interfacing, stitch ½″ from all the edges. Trim the interfacing ¼″ from the outside edge
and close to the stitching the rest of the way around each piece.
 If your fabric is very flimsy, and you are not sure you are laying the pieces out flat, use the pattern
pieces to cut the interfacing, then pin the interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric pieces.
Types of Facings
1. Bias facing is a piece of cloth cut 45 degrees angle and attached at the edge of the garment especially
in the curve parts like necklines and armholes. This can be used in straight edges for decorative
purposes and reinforcement of fabric edge.
2. Fitted facing is cut in the same shape as the part to be used. Either worn inside or outside of the
garment
3. Straight facing is specifically cut for straight edges for smoother result.
