Beautiful & simple skirt to make. It can also have a white band of contrasting white fabric attached to the hem for effect, as white goes beautifully with red. Deep red is my favourite colour.

This skirt can be made into any favourite colour. Red is my favourite, which caught my eye. It’s a beautiful, very simple & quick skirt to make. For extra effect, you can attach a 5-10cm width of folded white band at the hem, giving it a look as if there was a white band at the hem, or if longer, a white underskirt. White trim of some sort goes beautifully with red.

Thank you for a terrific post! I’ve been sewing for decades, have learned how to make my own patterns and have training in alterations. I think this tutorial is wonderful! I’m teaching sewing lessons to children now and I was looking for a simple skirt pattern and having trouble finding a suitable commercial pattern for my class. I think I may revise my class to make a skirt without a pattern and this is perfect! I’m sorry you had to endure to nasty comment. I think you’re doing an amazing job!

What is the best way to draw the hem curve?
When making the paper pattern, I drew the waist first and then, proportionally, around the hem but it looks like it will hang unevenly.
Any suggestions? (I’m a curvy girl with large hips. I’ve measured the waist so it slips over them)

In reply to Liz Claiborne. Very incredibly rude . Not the authors fault your intelligence is below average... Also, some advice.. because your intelligence is lacking.. when you need help understanding things in future perhaps be polite and respectful when asking for more information.. being rude about it and then expecting help is incredibly obnoxious and entitled. You're lucky the author is very patient and kind in her response. A lot of people who are publishing a FREE tutorial would've probably told you to get lost.

The instructions are fine. ‘Joint’ – stich together.

In reply to Liz Claiborne.

Join – which in English means “bring (two or more things) together” and connect them – sew them —-.
Joint – a point at which parts of something is joined
Sorry if it reminded you of something else 🙂

Joint???
What are you talking about?

These instructions are incomprehensible and seriously need to be rewritten, in Standard Mid Atlantic English. With all steps, not assumptions that we are psychic.

In reply to Nicole.

Hi Nicole
I have written about joining the pieces together in step 2 of the tutorial
This skirt is without lining – if you need you will have to cut seperate

I’m a bit confused by the instructions. “The first pattern given below is for a skirt cut lengthwise. You will be folding your 4.25 meters into 4 layers of length 40 inches ( or more if you are taller than 5 feet 4″).” You say that you are folding it into 4 layers, but nothing after that references having multiple layers of fabric or sewing 4 panels together. When I’m done cutting should I have two big blocks of fabric for the length or four? If I’m supposed to have four are two of those lining pieces?

Thank you for a clear and easy to understand guide for this skirt! I seen one commenter asking about what types of fabric can be used for this but you only mentioned the poly cotton and thick satin. Is there any other fabrics that would work best w this pattern? What about 2 way or 4 way stretch? & sorry if I’m not using correct terms or if I sound hella confused (it’s bc I am) I am a beginner
