Can I omit the pockets?

Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too tight.
Check that the elastic length matches the size 10 specification; if necessary, swap to a slightly longer piece of elastic to adjust the tension.
Buttonholes are stretching or fraying.
Use a light fusible interfacing on the button-front placket before sewing to provide extra stability to the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have your chosen fabric pre-washed and ironed to prevent post-sewing shrinkage. Since the pattern is printed on 60gsm paper, handle the pieces carefully to avoid tearing; if you plan to make the skirt multiple times, consider tracing the pattern onto Swedish tracing paper or interfacing. For the best result with the elasticated back, choose a high-quality elastic that matches the width specified in the pattern instructions. After assembly, care for the finished garment by following the laundry instructions specific to the fabric you selected; generally, cool machine washing and line drying are recommended to maintain the integrity of the buttons and the waistband elastic.
