The pattern for women's skirt RACHEL is constructed in a professional program for clothing pattern development and it is available in sizes 32–60 (find size charts in the gallery).
Sewing instructions: Three detailed sewing tutorials for this skirt can be found here: https://www.picolly.com/how-to-sew-women-s-skirt-rachel-various-techniques
Skill level: This pattern is suitable for advanced sewers. The only tricky part is the hidden zipper, otherwise, it would be suitable for intermediate sewers and bold beginners.
Recommended material: If you are sewing a skirt according to this pattern for the first time, I recommend a good quality light cotton canvas (American cotton canvases are great), or cotton poplin. For more information on suitable materials, see the tutorial articles. You will also need a zipper, one-sided fusible interfacing, and a hook & eye fastening or button - you will receive all the necessary information together with the pattern.
The required amount of material:
(for 140 cm / 55" wide fabric)
-Miniskirt:
-Sizes 32–46: 1 m (40")
-Sizes 48–60: 1.5 m (60")
-Longer versions:
-Sizes 32–46: 1.5 m (60")
-Sizes 48–60: 2 m (80")
There are three versions of this pattern (you will receive all of them after purchase):
-1st version (one size view) – PDF A4 – pattern in individual sizes with seam allowances outlined– all individual sizes of the pattern (pattern of each size shows sewing lines and seam allowances are outlined too).
-2nd version (classic view) – PDF A4 pattern showing all sizes without seam allowances - all sizes are outlined “in one picture”(each in its own color) without seam allowances.
-3rd version (classic view) – PDF A0 pattern showing all sizes without seam allowances. This large-format pattern does not need to be glued together. You can print it on a home or office plotter or in one of the many copy centers.
-You can choose what works best for you. The advantage of the classic view (where all the sizes are shown) is that you can easily customize your pattern to fit body types in between the chart sizes. One size view saves time during preparation - you do not have to think where and how much to add for the seams, because everything is already there.
