Hello hiveians

It's a great privilege to be alive this beautiful day, I hope you all are doing great just as I am.

For a while now, I have been making different types of dresses and skirts with slit, but my greatest challenge is after making the straight back slit, it tends to tear or open wider when my client wear it and they have to return it for sewing again.

I was thinking of how to fix this problem and I spoke to a friend of mine who is also into sewing, then she advised that I should make a vent slit which she thought me.

This is my attempt after she thought me.

After cutting out the front pattern of the straight skirt i intend to sew, I folded the fabric in two to cut out the back pattern which at the allowance for zipper, I added 2.5" from where my slit will start from to the hem of the skirt.

I cut out the lining same as the fabric then sew together following same shape of the skirt.

The front and back of the skirt were sewn together with the vent slit resting on the fabric and stitched on the fabric.

With this, the slit will last longer.

Thanks for viewing my post and for your support, enjoy your day and be good.
