This week’s pattern is a one-piece, slightly a-line skirt, custom-cut to the individual’s hip and waist measurements. The one illustrated is floor-length but I have made this several times in a shorter version. It’s very similar to the
pattern from
Smart Sewing magazine that I blogged about last year. It would also go very well with
this sweater. The instructions are on my
Flickr account.

I love it.
Back in the days when I wore skirts I made this one all the time. It's a snap to sew.
I really like it, who wore it back then and what sort of figure would it have suited?
Amy, any woman over the age of twelve could have worn this skirt; it's a staple. It would go with a twinset, a blouse, a blazer...and if you cut it as an A-line, it's suitable for any figure.
The only real restriction is that since it's sewn of only one piece of fabric, the maker's hips had better be less than sixty inches ;-)
