Inspiration...Knit Pencil Skirt

I love a good basic skirt.  It can be dressed or it can be dressed down. This skirt is a great basic:


This is the Misook 23" Straigh Knit Skirt. Price tag: $188.00.  Details:  easy-care knit, banded waist, falls straight from hip to hem, pull-on style, acrylic/cotton.

If this was my skirt it would be just a little bit longer.  My knees don't need to be visible anymore.  Here's a couple of pattern thoughts:


This is Pamela's Patterns The Magic Pencil Skirt pattern.  This is the perfect knit pencil skirt pattern.  It isn't exactly like the inspiration skirt but you could easily add a band or just make a high wast version of the skirt. 


This is the Three-Piece Yoga Skirt pattern by Silhoutte Patterns.   This skirt already has a banded top feature but it is more of an a-line silhouette.  You would just need to straight it a bit to match the inspiration photo.

The best thing about making this kind of skirt is that for most sizes one yard of 60" fabric will make a skirt.  You can make a week's worth of skirts for the price of the inspiration photo.

Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful

Happy Stitching!
