Our mantra? Have nothing in your wardrobe that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful – and this A-line skirt by Amanda Walker is sure to tick both of these boxes! Sewn in The Original Morris and Co. print, the design is made up of just three main pattern pieces, ideal for beginners and beyond.
1 Download and cut out the pattern. Turn the top pocket over along the fold line and sew down the corner nearest to the centre front on both pockets. Trim the bulk from the corners, then turn the pocket facings back to the wrong side. Adjust the machine to a larger stitch, then make a row of stitching along the seam line, 1.5cm away from the cut edge.
2 Pull the threads of the stitching line up slightly, this will help the edge of the pockets roll over to the wrong side in a consistent line, making a smooth curve at the base corners. When you are happy with how the seam allowance sits, press the edge of the fold and trim away the bulk from the curved corners.
3 Sew the pockets to the front of the skirt, positioned to the notches indicated on the side seams of the pattern. Pin in place and edgestitch the pockets, nearest to the centre front and across the base. Neaten the edge
