    Beautiful skirt that I admired on an acquaintance and loved.

  2. Leisa

    This pattern is great. Easy to understand instructions, very easy to make and is so flattering.

  3. Ruth

    An easy pattern, and so elegant, thank you for your generosity in designing it.

  4. Holly

    I am new to sewing, and this was a simple, straightforward pattern that I was easily able to grade to my size and get great results. Thank you for this free pattern – it’s a great confidence-builder and introduction to your selection of patterns. The instructions were clear and easy to follow.

  5. Mary

    This pattern is super cute. It took me a while to determine which part of the front pattern was the waist. I emailed Itch to stitch and she was great in responding. Problem solved.

  6. Jessica

    I really like the pattern

  7. Julie

    Such a great pattern! I think I may have chosen the wrong size because initially it was too large in the hips. It was an easy fix however and I have revised the pattern piece for when I make it next time. I do intend to make this again!

  8. Erin Gouthro

    I love pencil skirts. I can’t believe this classic skirt is free!

    Awesome. I’m a beginner, I need more practice because I did not understand the instruction on how to attach the waist elastic. Over all, good.

  22. sylvie

    très bien.

  23. Mechelle

    I foolishly made this skirt with cotton. Boy this was very difficult to make. I had to keep taking it the sides of the skirt and for some reason my pattern didn’t really line up. I did get it make and it’s snug , more snug when i sit. but i love , love , love the design. I printed it out again in color, i do not understand how to print from adobe , i tried. but i will try again with stretch material. I am sure it will be darling. Thank you .

    I love these patterns. I’ve used many patterns from independent designers but the patterns from Itch to Stitch are head and shoulders above the rest. Great designs, size layers available for printing, very clear and consise instructions and affordable.

  36. Cherie

    Love the pattern, but wanted it for my DIL, who is a beginner sewer, The pattern is for stretch, not sure if she is up to that yet, but I have a piece so she can practice first. She is also the size of a 10 year old. Some alterations will be neccessary.

  37. Jane

    This is a great pattern for a very wearable wardrobe staple. I made it out of black Ponte knit and I love it. It can be dressed up with a woven blouse or more casual with a knit tee, especially the Uvita. Itch to Stitch patterns are stylish, well-drafted, and have excellent instructions. Thank you for offering this free introduction to Itch to Stitch.

  61. Cortney

    This was a fun and easy sew, with nice clear instructions. It was my first time using an Itch to Stitch pattern and the fact that it was free made it a great way to acquaint myself with quality of the drafting & instructions. I definitely have my eye on several patterns to purchase after making this. PS – it’s also fun and comfortable to wear. I’m really pleased with how it came out.

  62. Mariana

    Quick and easy to sew but just doesn’t suit me. Not a fault of the pattern/instructions (which were great – clear and very easy to follow).

    Very nice pattern. I had to make it longer but that’s normal for me.

  74. Trudi

    So easy to follow the instructions. I do wear my skirts lower on my hips so I brought in the hip shape in slightly. I also made it with ponte material which is stiff and thick but I like to finish. Thank you

  93. Dianne Tillman-Reed

    Woman, you have talent. After I’ve built my confidence and gotten a little more time to myself, I want to come back to your site. I’ve just got too many patterns to not try a FBA on SOME of them. That’s the problem I have in a nutshell: confidence, time and too many patterns needing an FBA. But you go on with your bad self creating patterns and I hope I’ll be back. God willing.

    I made this for my daughter-in-law and it took less than an hour. I loved the method of inserting the elastic. It was a bit short for her to wear to work (she’s a teacher) in the original version. She really likes the skirt so I will make it several more times, just a bit longer.

  128. Shirley

    I made this for my daughter-in-law in less than an hour. I LOVED the way the elastic was applied. I have just recently started to test Indie patterns. I have sewn for nearly 60 years and I’m learning new techniques from you youngsters. Thank you.

How to choose your size

  1. Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  2. Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  3. It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
  4. If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.
