• High-waisted structured waistband: Adds definition and a structured finish around the waist.
• A-line mini silhouette: Creates a classic mini-skirt shape with an A-line outline.

SEWING LEVEL:

• Intermediate

This pattern is suitable for sewists with some sewing experience. In particular, working with exposed zipper closures and structured waistbands requires careful preparation and accurate sewing.

PATTERN TYPE:

• Digital PDF Sewing Pattern
• This is not a paper pattern that will be delivered by mail.
• Layered files allow you to print only the size you need.

As a result, you can select your preferred size before printing and avoid printing unnecessary size lines.

SIZES:

• Women’s XXS–7XL

Important sizing note: Please review the measurement chart before purchasing because sizing can differ between countries. For the best fit, choose your size according to your body measurements rather than your usual ready-to-wear clothing size.

SEAM ALLOWANCE:

• 3/8” (1cm) seam allowance is already included.

Therefore, you do not need to add the specified seam allowance to the pattern pieces separately.

SEWING TOOLS / EQUIPMENT:

Prepare the following tools before starting your project:

• Sewing machine
• Measuring tape
• Scissors
• Pins or clips
• Coordinating thread
• Fabric marker
• Seam ripper
• Iron

Having these tools ready will help you prepare your fabric, position the zippers, and sew the skirt neatly.

NOTIONS:

• Two 20” (50cm) #5 metal separating zippers

These zippers create the skirt’s distinctive dual exposed front closures. Be sure to purchase two zippers in the specified size before starting your project.

FABRIC TYPE:

• Woven, non-stretch fabric only

The pattern specifies non-stretch woven fabric. However, the recommended fabric list includes stretch denim, which may contain stretch.

Important: Because the pattern specifies non-stretch fabric, choose a non-stretch denim option if you wish to use denim. Avoid knit fabrics and fabrics with stretch unless the pattern instructions explicitly permit them.

RECOMMENDED FABRICS:

This pattern works with medium-weight woven fabrics, including:

• Cotton twill
• Polyester gabardine
• Stretch denim, subject to the non-stretch fabric requirement noted above
• Wool blend suiting
• Faux leather

INTERFACING:

• Medium-weight fusible woven interfacing

Interfacing helps support the structured waistband. Follow the pattern instructions when applying it to the relevant pieces.
