Pleated Skirt Sewing Pattern N.40
Pleated Skirt Sewing Pattern N.40
Share
This is an Intermediate Digital Sewing Pattern for a fully lined Bell-shaped Midi Skirt with an asymmetrical hem and pleats on the back. This sewing project is relatively simple; however, it is best to have some experience sewing invisible zippers.
I designed this skirt to be paired with a wide range of tops, from elegant blouses to cozy sweaters. I'd suggest sewing yours in crushed taffeta or faille, these fabrics don't require ironing, making this skirt the perfect garment for busy modern life when you need to get dressed quickly.
