In this guide, I teach how to draft a curved waistband pattern for a lowered waist skirt, including an underwrap and overwrap at the center back.

I explain how to measure and calculate the necessary dimensions, create the curve, and add seam allowances, while also providing tips on fabric cutting and interfacing.

Lesson Steps:

1. Measure top waist and lowered waist circumferences
2. Draw initial rectangle based on half measurements
3. Mark center front, side seam, and center back
4. Cut and spread pattern to create curve
5. Refine curves using a curved ruler
6. Transfer pattern to folded paper
7. Add underwrap and overwrap extensions
8. Mark notches and add seam allowances
9. Include pattern information (grainline, cutting instructions)
