#109 The Magic Pencil Skirt

 An improvement over the traditional straight skirt with no zipper or waistband!

The pencil skirt silhouette is an improvement over the traditional straight skirt. It tapers in from hip to hem giving a more slimming appearance no matter what your body type! The secret is in the fitting process, and Pamela will teach you how to get the best fit ever with her proven dart and side seam placement methods. Need more reasons to stitch up this stylish look? How about a classic and great fitting skirt that you can make, start to finish, in a little more than an hour? You will achieve the smooth look that is traditionally found in skirts with a waistband and zipper, but the "magic" is done with comfortable Fantastic Elastic.
