Thanks for visiting On the Cutting Floor today!

I am glad to present a new free pattern made using Patternmaker USA.

20150918065645I was very pleased with the results of the software. It, not only, has given a more professional look to the patterns, but it has also speeded up the process by about 4 times!

THE PATTERN

The Rachel Skirt

 

This super easy skirt that is ideal for beginners or those who want to spend less time in the sewing room during this summer (and enjoy the good weather 😉 )

 

The Skirt features:

A fit knit skirt with an adaptable waistband.

The sides have been gathered by the use of elastic on the seam.
Please, check on the A-line top tutorial for the step by step instructions.

      Thank you Cherie, for sizes 4 to 12 1 1/2 yards. For sizes 14 to 22, the skirt should be on fold and you will need 2.51 yards.

    That is one super cute skirt:) having a little tummy (post child birth is my excuse, rather than lack of exercise!) I’m wondering if the ruching would distract from said tummy!
