2 LUZ SEMI TIGHT SKIRT [ mocha ] modern + comfort Mocha is a new women s apparel brand by Sue Kim and Veronica Yang. Mocha designs aim to be modern, natural, and comfortable, but also simple to make.

7 [ BEFORE SEWING ] 1. Please read the instructions before sewing. 2. Prewash your fabric. Some fabrics will shrink after washing. Some of the fabric s color may wash out. 3. If you are having a hard time deciding which size will fit for you, check your closet first. Find a similar clothing(size and material) and then measure both of them. Subtract both seams. If you make the top, measure the bust size. In the case of pants measure the waist, hip, inseam, and outseam. For skirts, measure the waist, and hip. 4. Always backstitch at the beginning and end. Unless specified not to. [ FABRIC TERMS ] SELVAGE: Finished edges of the fabric, usually printed with the designer s name, the producer s logo, and the colors used for the fabric represented in numbers. CLIPPING: Small cuttings or trims that are done on an inward curve (concave seams); always clip within the seam allowance not through it. FACING: Used to finish raw edges as a partial lining for center front, neckline, or armhole edges. FOLD LINE: A line indicating the edge of the pattern piece that has to be placed on fold of fabric.
