How to draft a mitered corner hem slit
In this post, I'll show how to draft a fancy mitered corner hem facing for both 90-degree corners and other angled corners.
Hello my mathy friends! Today's post is the final drafting tutorial for our 5th project, the Fitted Knit Skirt. In the previous tutorials, I showed how to draft the skirt body and waistband. That is enough to make a functioning skirt but if you're making a longer skirt you may want to add a slit at the hem to aid in walking.
In today's tutorial, I'll show you how to draft a fancy mitered corner finish for a hem slit. This approach creates a grown-on facing along the the slit, as opposed to just using the seam allowance and reduces bulk. Let's get started!
