    Description

    This classic, unlined pencil skirt will have you looking sharp whenever you wear it. The skirt includes side panels, a back yoke detail, and a back walking vent. Because it has no seams, the front panel allows use of almost any patterned fabric, including bold prints. View A is just-above-the-knee length with straight-cut side panels. View B ends just below the knee and features bias-cut side panels. Fit can be easily customized using the side-panel seams.

    Suggested Fabrics

    Suitable for light- to medium-weight woven fabrics like twill, canvas, linen, denim, wool suiting, and faux leather. Woven fabrics with some stretch are ideal for this style.

    Notions

    Coordinating thread, contrasting thread for topstitching (optional), 9" invisible zipper, lightweight woven fusible interfacing, 1 1/4 yards of 1/4" twill tape to stabilize the waistband, 1 1/2 yards of seam tape or ribbon to finish the hem.

    I’ve already made 2 versions and know I will return to this pattern again and again. The side panels are so flattering. So many possibilities! Another perfectly drafted pattern from the very talented Liesl.

    Another fabulous Liesl pattern. I love the way the skirt is shaped by the side panels rather than bulky gathers or darts at the waist. This gives a really smooth fit.

    This is a fantastic pattern. I made my skirt from some stretch denim and it worked perfectly. The instructions are very clear, like all of Liesl's patterns. This is a wonderful basic. I'm planning to make another one soon!
