Easiest Skirt Pattern Free PDF Sewing Pattern and Tutorial

I adore this pattern and use it all the time.  It's great for everyday sewing if you have a girl who likes skirts.  It's also perfect for quick holiday outfits.  This is a great pattern for craft shows too.  These little skirts sew up so quickly.

Elastic puller
Waistband elastic
Cotton or other fabric

You can thread the elastic through the waistband channel with a big safety pin.  I did that for years.  Then I finally bought a set of the flexible threaders above.  Holy cow are they amazing.  These things are cheap and they save you so much time.  It's a must have in my sewing studio.  In fact, I have 4 or 5 because my daughter kept using them as riding crops for her American Girl Doll ponies so I just kept buying more and more.  Now I have a stockpile of the things.  Totally worth it.  Another pro tip is that I buy my elastic in bulk.  It really ticks me off when I have to spend $5 for enough elastic to make 1 skirt  I just order it online ahead of time and always have a stockpile.

I've been using this pattern for years.  Above you can see that I made skirts from satin in the Stewart Clan Tartan for Christmas  It's great because it fits so many sizes.  The same pattern is used for the little toddler all the way up to my lovely teenage niece.  These skirts sew up in under 20 minutes if you are an experienced sewist - probably a little longer if you are a beginner.

I actually started making this pattern because it's so great when you need something for a holiday party at school or a special skirt for a birthday party.

You can really change up the look by using different fabrics and trims.  Once you have made a couple of skirts with this pattern you will see how easy it is to alter.

 Here is another variation of the skirt I made for a cowgirl birthday.  I replaced the bottom band with lace to make an adorable cotton cowgirl skirt for this birthday party.

Here I used it to make the skirt for my daughter's Poison Ivy Costume for Comic con...FYI she won best costume in the kid's contest.  Lady joker's skirt is a different pattern that I will have up in a couple of weeks that I also love.

These skirts can be made out of basically any material.  I've used cotton, organza, satin, special occasion fabric, and even knits.

Another thing I love out this is that there is an option with the bottom band.  That is great for a beginner because there is no hemming.  It makes it sew up really quickly.
