About this pattern

If you aren't confident at stitching darts, this pencil skirt designed by Amanda Walker is a good practise piece as little mistakes will be hidden by the textured surface of your bouclé. Don't be tempted to skip the Petersham inside the waistband, as it adds shape and will prevent it from rolling or creasing as you move.

Essentials

  • Bouclé fabric, 1m
  • Lining fabric, 1m
  • Petersham ribbon, 1m
  • Concealed zip, 23cm
  • Coordinating thread
