DOTTY LONG SKIRT

Dotty (back view) in Kindred fabric ‘Esme’ by Sewgirl

DOTTY LONG SKIRT – a new skirt pattern by Sewgirl, perfect for holidays and comfortable for everyday wear – a lovely addition to any wardrobe with its timeless, elegant style and flattering slimline silhouette. I love wearing this skirt with sandals or trainers in Spring/Summer and ankle boots in the Fall. Its a simple sew but one that I’m sure, like me, you will want to make again and again.

Oh and don’t be put off by the zip!- this one is easy peasy. Once mastered this easy ‘centered’ method, you will never sew a different kind of zip again. And with one in the centre back seam, it allows you to adjust at the side seams so that it fits you like a glove. An optional tie belt covers any tums – and having a facing at the top means theres no uncomfortable waistband (I’m not a big fan).

*length can be adjusted using the lengthen lines on the template.

Dotty Long Skirt is available in all sizes from UK 8-22 for size information, finished garment details and fabric requirements please check out the chart below.

Suitable fabrics to make Dotty are 6-8oz denim, medium weight cotton fabric and corduroy or woven jacquards.
