Burda Style For people who sew
Description
i drafted this skirt pattern and sewed it up out of a leftover piece of denim from a previous project (the cp macaron). it is a basic knee-length straight skirt. i made seams down the front and back sides so i could add slant pockets and some topstitching. the waistband has elastic running through it for comfort, a standard zip in the back and a small heart appliqu to keep it fun for my seven year old!

Great Design!! Like the princess seams, pockets and top stitching. My grand-daughter wants one, she is 10 years old and stick thin size 7, would also need the elastic hidden in the waistband.
