For the long skirt you need about 2 1\/2 yards of fabric. Fold fabric crosswise, right sides together, and cut out all pieces as shown. Cut through fold at waist. Sew side seams, leaving a 9&#8243; placket opening. Trim tab off front skirt piece; whipstitch around edge of tab on back piece. Press all seams open and whipstitch placket seam allowance to skirt. For drawstring casing, fold down and press 1\/4&#8243; edge at waist. Fold down again to top of tab and stitch along bottom of casing. Fold drawstring lengthwise, seam one side and one end and use a large safety pin to reverse. Stitch other end and thread through casing. Hem skirt.  (If fabric has a directional pattern, don&#8217;t fold. Cut the two lengths apart and reverse one before cutting, so front and back patterns run the same way.)<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know, the directions are a bit confusing to me, but hopefully some of you can figure them out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of you asked about the long skirt pattern in the Seventeen magazine.
