I\u2019m really excited about this simple skirt. It looks far more impressive and difficult to make than it actually is. Believe it or not, it\u2019s a completely appropriate project for a beginner to take on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The skirt doesn\u2019t have side seams but instead has princess seams that form side panels. Each side panel, in turn, has a simple pocket that is created by folding the fabric into a large horizontal pleat. Below each side panel is a pleated insert that flares a bit and can be worn with the pleats facing toward the front or back. The waistband is elasticized so the skirt can be pulled on without any fancy closures.<\/p>\n

We recommend light- to medium-weight woven fabrics like quilting cotton, broadcloth, poplin, fine-wale corduroy, twill, denim, chambray, and linen for this pattern.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to make it in chambray for S this summer. She wore it in fine-wale corduroy this past winter, so it is appropriate for year-round wear depending on your fabric choice.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned, the skirt portion of this pattern is appropriate for a beginner and would be rated one scissors if it were packaged by itself. If you’re a new sewer, you can treat the Music Class Blouse + Skirt pattern like a sewing class in an envelope. Start with the skirt, move up to the short-sleeved blouse , and finish with the long-sleeved blouse. By taking on the projects in this order, you’ll develop your skills and sewing confidence as you make some wonderful separates for the little girl in your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
