Skirt with yoke patterning..

Firstly I drew around the basic skirt block.

Then to add the slight flare onto the front of the skirt, we extended a line from the hip to the hem, we then extended the width of the hem on the side by 2.5cm, we did the exact same to the back skirt as seen int he above picture.

We also extended a linefrom the centre back waist to the hem and extended the hem line towards the centre back  by 1cm, we did this for more ease in the skirt, as seen in the above picture.

Yoke;

A yoke is a horizontal line that goes across the top of any garment, in this case it was going across the top of my skirt. We placed ours at the bottom of the longest dart, as seen in the pictures above. I traced off the yoke from my first draft and then closed up the darts,

I then added a 1.5 seam allowance and created my final pattern for the yoke.

Box pleat;

To get the box pleat, we drew a vertical line from the yoke line to the hem, approximately 5cm from the centre front line. We then slashed up the box pleat line and then inserted a piece of paper 10cm in width which gave us half of our box pleat;

Kick pleat;

To get the kick pleat we extended the width of the hem at the centre back by approximately 5cm, we then drew a parallel vertical line to the centre back, and we finished it off with a 45 degree angle as seen in the picture above.

Waist facings;

A facing is used to neaten up raw edges, we had facings at the top of our skirt, we drew a 5cm horizontal line from the waist on the front and back, we then traced it off to create a final pattern and added a seam aloowance of 1.5cm.
