The neat folds at the waist or at the waist line, although they give a small volume to the model, they are slim, delicately masking the protruding tummy.
The sewing instructions always contain information on how to fold the folds correctly, in which direction, how deep they should be, stitch them or leave them “open”. It is not difficult to make folds, especially if the model is with a belt or stitched weld. Difficulties can arise only with those patterns in which a high waist and a one-piece edging of the upper cut of the model. In this case, the stitched folds, besides the decorative ones, also perform an additional function - they form the waist line of the product.

Step 1
Mark the crease and crease fold lines.
Use the stitching stitches to draw the contours to the front.
Step 2
Overcast the whole-cut stitching of the upper edge of the short skirt, iron on the wrong side along the fold line and bast.
Sew the ends of the one-piece trim by hand to the braid of the hidden zipper.
Step 3
Fold each front half of the short skirt with the front side inward, aligning the lines connected by one arrow.
Chip the fold lines and grind between the arrow marks.
Bind at the beginning and end of the stitches.
Iron the depths of the folds to the midline line.
Sew the upper edge of the short skirt at a distance of 5 cm, securing the upper edge of the cut.
When sewing, make sure that the folds depths are directed to the midline of the front, and the tuck depths are directed to the midline of the back.
