So. My sewing teacher drafted a pattern for me for a 6-gore skirt, based on one I have and love. She curved the bottom hemline ever so slightly, which I understand--my first wadder about 35 years ago was when I remembered someone saying to tear across to make the fabric straight, and my front and back were uneven... I "get" how she did the measuring for cut-on waistband, etc., etc, but how is the amount of curvature figured for the hemline??? I just don't get the geometry...
