Sewing Pattern || Essential Skirt
The Essential Skirt is a great versatile wardrobe staple. It has large, front, patch pockets that are functional. Since this pattern is pretty basic, the pockets are an easy way to have some fun and make your project unique. They can be easily modified to any size or shape, depending on your preference. This pattern can be easily adjusted to any desired length.
This pattern is suitable for beginners, but is still a quick and satisfying project for more advanced sewers as well. This style requires edgestitching, attaching patch pockets, and assembling an elastic waistband. Through the recreating of this style you will gain confidence in very practical sewing skills that can be applied to creating a variety of wardrobe staples.
This pattern has a total of 5 pattern pieces to be cut out and sewn, and also requires a length of elastic for the waistband. This style can be completed in approximately 2 hours, including cutting time.

Non-stretch woven fabrics in a mid-weight are most ideal for this style. Of course we always recommend natural fibres such as linen, cotton, and hemp. Some heavier fabrics may work, but can potentially become a little bulky and end up too structured. Light and/or shifty materials may result in a more delicate drape, but will be more challenging to sew and may need interfacing on some areas - we would only recommend light, shifty fabrics for more advanced sewers.
All our styles can be completed on a basic domestic sewing machine with a zig-zag stitch. If you have a serger you may choose to finish your seams that way as well. Both methods are outlined in the detailed step-by-step sewing guide included with the purchase.
Unfortunately we do not offer customizations on our digital pattern downloads. Preparing our patterns to be used for domestic use and PDF download requires many hours of formatting and prep.
You are welcome to resize, modify, or alter the digital patterns to suit your personal preferences and/or measurements if you are between sizes.
