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 Sophia Pencil Skirt is a classic wardrobe staple. Named for the actress Sophia Loren, I hope you feel just as stunning as she always looks when wearing it. You can use any bottom-weight woven, non-stretch fabric for this timeless pattern. Fitted tight at the natural waist and body skimming through high hip and hip in comes in slightly at thigh, but room to comfortably walk with no slit option. You can make a business appropriate skirt or a fun party mini with this pattern. Choose from no slits for a simple version, add one front thigh slit for some fun or double slits for double the fun. All options are fully lined with a back center zipper. You can sew up a skirt with a plain, no waistband solid look or opt for the waistband to highlight the waist area.
Pattern options for the Sophia Pencil Skirt include:
- Lengths: Micro Mini / Mini / Above Knee / Knee
- Waistband / No Waistband
- Plain Hem / Slit / Double Slit
- Back Center Zipper
- Fully Lined
The Sophia Pencil Skirt pattern is drafted for bottom-weight woven, non-stretch fabrics. Bottom-weight fabrics means medium to heavier weight fabrics that are more durable, meant to withstand sitting, bending, etc.
Specific Fabric Suggestions: heavy flannel, suiting, tweed, denim, suede, corduroy… specialty suggestions: velvet, sequin, satin, pleather, etc.
