NOTES Always fold fabric right sides together unless otherwise stated. It is important to press every fold to create definite creases. Take a 1.2-cm (½in.) seam allowance throughout unless otherwise stated.

his project is one of those statement wardrobe pieces that you can throw on with a pair of jeans and tank top to really jazz up an otherwise dull outfit. Its clean lines and simple design make it a plain canvas for creativity. I have chosen a pop colour and a wax print to show the versatility of the garment. The print features a pattern of horizontal lines, which I made into a chevron effect. To achieve this without wasting too much fabric, I made a template out of poly-cotton. I strongly recommend having your chevrons pointing downwards, because this somehow makes the waist look smaller.
