Of course! The pattern has you cut multiple of piece 13. You then stitch them together side seam to side seam so that you have a long rectangle of piece 13s sewn together: 13-13-13-13. Then you stitch them into a circle by connecting the two outer ends together, but this time, you don't stitch the full length of the seam, you go from the bottom to a dot marked a few inches from the top of the skirt. This makes it so that you have an opening later so that the skirt can be taken on and off. In my tutorial, I didn't want to have the seams, so I instead cut my tulle as continuous strips the length of the pattern pieces, with the width of the pieces multiplied by the number of pieces. So, for example, if a pattern piece was is 10" long and 30" wide and it told me to cut 5, I instead cut one piece that was 10" long and 100" wide, thus bypassing having to stitch the pieces together, but ending with the same result of a rectangle with similar dimensions (it's slightly larger because the seam allowance isn't removed). As a side note, the pattern is a bit lazy and has you sew the seams as normal seams, but sheer fabrics should be sewn with French seams, which you can find a tutorial on how to do here: ruclips.net/user/shortsU08m8nJkdJo?si=jwMlYODeHpaDSb5w Does that help?

@@TheSavageSavage Thank you so much for explaining. I think I cut it out right and sewed right. However, I ended up deviating from the pattern afterwards. For whatever reason, I was just hitting a wall!

Yes! It's a straw hat, and can use this technique on felt hats as well. 😁

Thanks for watching!

My people! I think so too! I don't know why there are so many stitchers who avoid the alteration like the plague. I'm all for side back darts, but those can get in the way of pockets, so I prefer to alter the CB.

It’s the only way with alterations on existing garments because who want to deal with pockets?

Thank you!! It's all thanks to the fabulous sewing machine I bought at your shop that I was able to make this!
