Tutorial: How to sew a half slip

Call me old fashioned, but I really don’t like to have to worry about whether the outline of my underwear can be seen through the thin fabric of a skirt or dress. A half slip is an easy fix for that! They used to be easy to find, but fewer and fewer stores carry them now. Melissa from Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews shows how you can sew a half slip that you can wear under a sheer skirt. When you make it yourself, you can make it exactly the length you like!
