Description
This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.
The Playdate Skort pattern is the perfect mix of comfort and style. With the look of a skirt and the practicality of built-in shorts, it’s an easy piece to dress up or down for everyday wear. The comfy knit waistband and relaxed fit make it effortless to pull on, while the customizable options let you create a look that fits your personal style.
Sew it up in athletic knit for sporty outfits, double brushed poly for everyday comfort, or ponte for a chic, structured look. Whether you’re heading out for errands, meeting friends, or lounging at home, this skort has you covered.
With three lengths to choose from, skirt pockets, built-in shorts (simple or with pockets), and an optional drawstring, you can make anything from casual basics to on-trend staples.
The Playdate Skort is as easy to wear as it is to sew—and once you’ve made one, you’ll want a whole closet full.
Pattern options for the Playdate Skort includes:
- Lengths: Mini / Curved Thigh / Knee
- Rise: Highrise
- Undershorts: 2″ / 4″
- Pockets: Front Skirt Pocket / Undershorts Side Pockets
- Optional Drawstring
The Playdate Skort pattern is drafted for midweight knit fabrics.
