Slits on bias skirts are no problem as long as you've cut your two skirt pieces correctly (this sew-along of the Coco skirt by Staystitch has a diagram https://blog.bernina.com/en/2022/12/sew-along-coco-bias-skirt/). The question is more on slit placement - a side slit is simple, but if you're doing a front slit like I have done on this skirt, then you either have to be ok with the other seam being off-center in the back, or you have to cut your back in one piece, and front in two pieces (if doing one front slit).

Did you cut the fabric on the regular grain or the bias? I have a bias skirt pattern that I've made 4 or 5 times, but I'd like to have a front slit this time. Do you have any experience with that? I'm wondering if cutting on the bias would cause the slit to look strange.

I have created almost a decade worth of sewing tutorials on my blog, completely free for anyone to access. There is an OPTION to support my work through my shop, and yes, there is a minimum value of $1 due to the way that platform works. Supporting is optional, as you can see, you can access the blog freely. There is nothing fake about saying it's free, it is. If you don't think my work is worth $1, you may continue to use the guides without supporting financially.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12278766054258538739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300889576772331354.post-91276138629649431302023-05-18T15:56:37.593+04:002023-05-18T15:56:37.593+04:00Hi it says it's free but no matter what you do...Hi it says it's free but no matter what you do it costs at least 1USD. I know it's not a lot of money, but I think it is fake advertisement, to say its free when it is not. I thought it was completely fair that you have done so that we can contribute "with an amount that feels right for you". But I think you should change what is written to a 1USD instead of saying it's free. No hate whatsoever!!
