SEWING LEVEL:
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:
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:

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.

- Cotton twill
- Polyester gabardine
- Stretch denim, subject to the non-stretch fabric requirement noted above
