An A-line skirt is a wardrobe essential! This version is made up of stylish panels that add subtle interest to the classic design. The project is a great choice for those who have never added a lining or inserted a concealed zip. What’s more, the wool felt used for this design doesn’t fray – so the hem of the skirt can be left raw to incredibly chic effect.
1 Download and print the pattern at sewmag.co.uk/templates. Cut out all the pieces according to the cutting guide. Pin the two centrefront fabric pieces right sides together and stitch along the long straight edge. Repeat for the centre-back. Match the notches of the fabric centre-front panel to a side piece. Pin, stitch, then press the seams open. Add the other side panel in the same way. Repeat for the back.
2 Match the side seams of the front and back, right sides together. Sew one of the seams from the base to the zip notch – the other side seam can be stitched all the way to the waistline. Press the seams open.
