The skirt
is an excellent multi-purpose skirt, which can be made
from a variety of fabrics to suit different occasions.
Ideal for everyday wear in hard wearing fabric as well
as evening wear in more deluxe fabrics.
The skirt features 6 gores (or panels), it is fitted
around the waist and hips, and flares out as it extends
to the bottom of the skirt, giving the skirt lots of
movement when worn.
The finished length of the skirt is 35" (89cm), which
for the average person will mean this skirt will finish
at ankle length. The pattern can always be adjusted a
little by adding some extra length for a full length
skirt.
It's a fairly
simple pattern, however you'll need to be able to fit a
zip and create a button hole (alternatively you can use
a hook an eye).
This
pattern will require some knowledge of sewing and an
understanding of what pattern symbols mean (if you not
sure please search on line for pattern symbols or refer
to a good sewing book).
Approximate amounts of fabric required:
2.5m
fabric (most fabrics are suitable, avoid very heavy,
very stretchy and sheer fabrics)
A small piece of iron on lightweight interfacing (enough
for the waistband)
1 button or trouser sized hook and eye
8" zip
matching threads
Please read the instructions included for further information on
fabric requirements etc.
THIS IS NOT
A PRINTED PAPER PATTERN:
The
patterns included are size 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 . These are FULL SIZE patterns
(this is an all in one/multisized pattern so you can adjust
the pattern should you be an inbetween size, and cut the
size you need), so there is no need to worry about
enlarging or scaling up the patterns, all you have to do is
print them off on A4 paper and assemble the pieces (full
printing instructions are included) and cut out the size you
need.
For more information on sizing please see: Size Charts
