This skirt is so totally easy to make.
Back view |
You cut 2 circles, cut an opening in the center for the waist on one circle and the legs on the other circle. Offset the circles at right angles, stitch together at the circumference, add elastic or drawstring for the waist and you are done. Looks much more complicated than it is.
In this version I used a wool jersey which is, of course, a knit. Because of the stretch-ability of a knit it is easy to walk in this skirt. If you are using a woven as I did in my other version, it may be necessary to make the leg opening larger than the waist opening. Depending, of course, on the size of your waist.
You can see, if you compare the two versions, how the draping differs between the two. Both really quite nice. I see more of these skirts in my future.

Really beautiful, Ann. I have this pattern in my stash and should make it up already. :)
This is an ingenious pattern, and looks great on you.
That's a clever and flattering skirt on you.
I think I have enough patterns...and then I see your creation and I'm reminded that I wanted to get this pattern the last time you sewed it. Beautiful AND fun - can't beat that!
So beautiful Ann and very clever.
What a terrific skirt and so in keeping with your personal style.
I made a knee length version of this and the fabric drapes in a lovely way, too.
I'm intrigued by your hemline- what is going on for it to hitch up here and there? How'd that come about?
Thanks.
Best wishes, Lin
Hello,
