This guide is going to show you how to create 5 different skirt patterns using this basic pattern drafting technique. You can use these 5 different skirt patterns as the foundation of any skirt design your creative mind may take you.
 
The skirt patterns you will be drafting using this guide includes the pencil skirt, the straight skirt, gathered-waist skirt, a-line skirt, mermaid skirt, and a circle skirt.
 
I will also include the waist shaping option, waist band pattern, ease chart, grading tips, and tips on how to alter the pattern for a more accurate fit.
 
Before we get started, I will like to note, there will be NO SEAM
ALLOWANCE or EASE calculated into these pattern blocks.
Your design will determine how much ease or seam
allowance will be needed and where.
