Thanks for visiting On the Cutting Floor today!
I am glad to present a new free pattern made using Patternmaker USA.
I 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!

This is really cute! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Cat!
Thank you, gonna try it. How much fabric do you suggest for a size 18?
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!
Thank you Vicky! I hope it works that way 😉

Hi, thank you for the heads up. I have updated the link so it should work fine.
Happy Sewing!
