The Story
For climbing mountains or pounding pavements, this walking skirt has two versions. A high waistband, pocket and button detailing ideal for utility cloths or a simple tie detail ideal for soft linens.
Skill Level: Tie Waist: advanced beginner. Button Waistband: intermediate.
Format: This is a multi-size paper pattern, including UK sizes 6-18.
Seam allowances are 1.5cm and are included in the pattern.
Recommended Fabrics: mid-weight cotton canvas, 8oz organic sanded twill, corduroy, light-medium weight woolens and 7-10oz denim. We suggest using softer fabrics for the tie version to give a relaxed silhouette such as linen, tencel/linen, linen/wool blends.
Notions:
- Matching thread
- 4 x 3/4" and 1 x 1/2" (pocket flap) buttons for waistband version
- 1 x 3/4" button for tie waistband version
- 1/2 yd lining fabric
- Interfacing (see fabric requirements)
