Lizzie Skirt PDF Sewing Pattern

£9.00

Everyone needs a pleated skirt in their wardrobe, and the Lizzie Skirt will be your new go-to. With lots of fabric options, Lizzie is incredibly versatile and makes a wonderful pattern to see you through all seasons. Make her in a lovely crisp cotton lawn for summer, or a lightweight wool for a warm winter skirt.

The Lizzie Skirt has pleats, in-seam pockets, a full lining, a waistband and a concealed zip, meaning there is tonnes to learn for beginners, whereas intermediate and advanced sewers will enjoy a fun, quick sew. Lizzie makes a brilliant afternoon project.

Lisa’s favourite shape, the Lizzie Skirt is 1950s-inspired in style, with a trademark cinched-in waist. The pleats are carefully concentrated at the front and back of the skirt for gorgeous fullness, while the side seams are left pleat-free for a flattering, hip-skimming effect. It is a classic knee-length, but thanks to its straight hem, can be easily lengthened or shortened to suit you.

Dress Lizzie up or down depending on your fabric choice. A pretty printed cotton will be your go-to for summer days out, or choose a fancy brocade for a special evening co-ord outfit!

Sewing Level
The Lizzie Skirt is a beginner level sewing pattern. It makes a great second project, perhaps after you’ve made the Ultimate Shift Dress.

Fabric Suggestions
There is plenty of scope with Lizzie when it comes to fabric choices. For beginners, we recommend a light to medium weight stable woven fabric such as cotton poplin, lawn or broderie anglaise. Intermediate and advanced sewers could try a jacquard, lightweight wool, suiting, or something with more drape such as a medium weight crepe. For the lining we recommend a cotton lawn, or acetate lining fabric if you want to wear tights with your skirt. For inspiration and to find the perfect fabric, have a look at our specially curated suggestions.

Fabric Requirements
The Lizzie Skirt sewing pattern is sized between UK sizes 8-20. See the chart for details on fabric requirements. 

Like all our patterns, the sizes are nested to make it easier to grade between the sizes, depending on your measurements.

So what is a PDF pattern?
