Where it is used
Slit Reinforcement
p. 26- Cut reinforcing strips for the slit, 4.0 cm long, from pre-made ribbon. Pin the reinforcement onto the seam allowance perpendicularly to the relief seam. Secure the seam allowance by placing a fastener across the reinforcement tape. Use the reinforcement to wrap the seam allowance of the cut, tucking the ends under, and place fastenings along the edge, 0.1 cm from the fold.
Reinforce and finish the skirt pieces
p. 8- Reinforce the skirt pieces either entirely or partially, including the hem allowance and the edges for the zipper. Finish all the vertical edges of the front and back skirt pieces. Stitch the darts or gather as marked on the pattern.
