Description

A simple set of instructions to make a skirt with a deep elasticated waistband. Make with patch, inseam or no pockets. A zero to minimal waste pattern that can make the most of fabrics in your stash.

All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless stated otherwise and are included in the pattern.

Skill level; beginner.

This PDF pattern is made up of 10 A4 pages.

Suitable fabrics - light weight wovens such as linen, cotton lawn, cotton poplin, tencel or Indian handlooms.

*Please note that this pattern is instructions only including a set of measurements to cut out your skirt.

Paper vs PDF

If you order a paper copy you will be sent a printed version of our pattern. If you select PDF, you are purchasing a digital file which will be stored on your account to be downloaded at any time. PDF's will include a tiled, an A0 copy shop file and your instructions. The tiled file can be used on any home printer and stuck together and is compatible with both A4 and US letter paper. Alternatively, you can send off the copy shop file to be printed full size; we can usually recommend someone in your area. If you are in the UK, we would recommend The Fold Line. The instructions can either be printed at home or simply follow along on your computer or phone. 

You will need

Matching thread.

0.4M/0.5yd lining (inseam pockets - option 1 only).

40mm/1.5" elastic - see fabric requirements for measurements.
