It might work on flat bum, what do you think?

Super cute! Once again you chisel perfection (er.. am carried over by lyricism right now!)

Another great how to from JJ. The skirt looks lovely, but I guess it won't suit a pear shaped figure?

Love this idea. Think it would be ideal for a flat bum. Hope mine is flat enough! Might try it in a finer material at first in case.

sewing summer clothes.

I couldn't fix my how-to right now. I will post the explanation here.

pic.1.... frist draw the curve as you like.

        I highlight the area that you have to trace off with black pencil.

pic 2.... You might want to spread out 4 lines, at the curve measure the curve & divided by

       4, do the same at the side seam as shown.

        You want to spread the pattern only the bum curve but nothing at the side ...that 
        why I wrote zero.  Spead more on top, not too much on the bottom line ( notice the
        originat skirt). I only put no. 1-2.5 for an example. You have to make the muslin and
        gather to fit the center back part (part that has zipper on) to see if they are too much
        or too little.

pic 3. Black hightlight are spreading areas. Final pattern.
