    Description

    Wonderful fit
    Reviewed by on 04/11/2019
    I just finished this - my first ever pencil skirt - and it's a dream to sew and wear! I used a stretch linen fabric, and didn't have to make any major modifications. The pattern is drafted so well, and the instructions, as always, are really clear. I'm looking forward to making many more!

    Best Pencil Skirt Pattern
    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 11/21/2018
    I made two skirts with this pattern in a week. One in denim and the second in a navy/white geometric pattern. For the navy/white skirt I used the back of the fabric for the side panels. I had to use a 5/8" seam allowance on the sides because the smallest size was a little big for me. The side panels really do allow for a custom fit.

    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.

    A-plus for the pencil skirt
    Reviewed by (Verified Buyer) on 08/21/2018
    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!
