So today I have a skirt to share with you. It is a pieced box pleated skirt, with tuck details on the waistband. I've had this fabric in my stash since early winter, so it isn't as bright and cheery as I'd like for spring, but you could literally have up to five different colors of fabric blocked together in this skirt-use every color in the crayon box if you'd like.
The best part about this project, is that I am going to give you the formula to make your own, perfectly fitting skirt. No pattern, just math.
My skirt is high waisted, and the hem hits me a couple of inches below the knee. You can easily adjust the length of the skirt to fit your body type. I was just in the mood for a skirt that would keep me covered while seated.
Materials:
1 1/2 yards of main fabric-I used a polyester suiting in medieval blue (Joann's)
2/3 yard of contrast fabric. Calla Green
Coordinating thread (both blue and green)
7-9 inch invisible zipper (main fabric color)
Sewing supplies (including measuring tape, marking pencil).
