If you are looking for a simple skirt pattern that is easy to sew, inexpensive to make then let me suggest for you Simplicity pattern 2609. You have 2 options when making this skirt if you are looking for a long modest skirt, you can make a 4 panel skirt which has a pretty flare and drape to it or you can make the tiered skirt which is also a very pretty style of skirt. For the skirt that I made I chose to make the 4 panel skirt in a medium weight denim that has a nice drape to it and is great to have in the wardrobe because it is really limitless with what you can pair with it. At Wal Mart this denim will cost you $4.44 a yard and 1.23 for elastic which puts you around 15$ to make. Wal Mart also sells some wonderful cotton prints at 2.50 a yard which is also a steal and would look lovely especially in the tiered version.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." Mark 12:30
It's beautiful! Thank you for sharing the pattern! I am always anxious for new skirt patterns! :) I love the one you made. It really turned out lovely!
Thanks for sharing this! Last summer I was looking for a pattern like this and couldn't find one. I'm going to make a note of it to get it next time patterns are on sale at Joann's.
Love it!! I must see if I can find this pattern! I love the new blog look too! How did you figure it all out on your own? I keep wanting to give mine a new look, but I don't dare play with it.
