How to make a in-seam placket (Custom-fit Skirt)

It's always hard to make an in-seam placket! This video, starring Sarah Tibbles, explains how you can create one easily on your very own custom fit P7 skirt.
-Place the skirt with the WRONG SIDE facing you. Fold the front placket to meet the first guide and press. Fold again to meet the second guide, press and pin in place. You will now have a nice clean edge. Do not stitch yet.
-On the WRONG SIDE of the BACK panel (the one with the box pleat), fold the placket to meet the first guide and press. Fold again to meet the second guide, press and pin in place.
-Edge Stitch the back placket 2mm away along the folded edge.
-Rotate the skirt so that plackets are in the middle of the work table. Place the BACK placket on top of the FRONT placket, aligning the cut out notches.
-Fold the bottom right corners of the plackets together inwards to create a right angle triangle aligning towards the fold line. Pin together.
-Top-stitch along the diagonal line, make sure to catch both plackets and the front skirt panel.
-Pivot the skirt around and open the placket. Top-stitch the edge of the placket on the front panel.

Hi, it’s crazy that you posted this . It’s EXACTLY what I needed and I’ve been looking for one like this for 2 days now. Question , would it harder if I added a facing ? Or would that be unnecessary?
