Blake Skirt Sewing Tutorial | Size Inclusive Pleated Skirt Pattern

BUY THE PATTERN: jessilouspatterns.etsy.com
Evan and I are thrilled to introduce our latest sewing pattern design, The Blake Skirt! Blake is a mid-rise skirt with an invisible zipper and a contoured waistband. It features a subtly flared silhouette, and has the option for a flat front or a front with three asymmetrical front pleats, as well as a mini length or a maxi length.
When designing the Blake Skirt, Evan and Jess were inspired by traditional menswear. We wanted a design that effortlessly blended sophistication with a touch of femininity, and we’re really happy with the result.
This sewing pattern has BEGINNER FRIENDLY sewing instructions, illustrations, as well as this video tutorial to make the construction easy to follow. You will learn how to sew a dart, how to sew pleats, how to sew an invisible zipper, and how to sew a curved waistband.
Size inclusive pdf sewing pattern:
0 - 34, which correlate to waist 24"-54" and hip 34"-65”

Suitable Fabrics:
This pattern can be sewn with a wide variety of fabrics, but in our testing we found that medium weight fabrics work best. These would include fabrics like wool suiting, cotton canvas, denim and other twill weave cottons, linen, and flannel. If you choose a polyester or poly blend fabric, make sure to test that your fabric will hold a pressed pleated before cutting and sewing your final garment.
Thinner fabrics or fabrics with more drape can work as well; however, these fabrics can be more difficult to sew, may be more sheer, and may not hold a pressed pleat. Keep this in mind when choosing your fabric. For thinner fabrics, consider silk, satin, quilting cotton, and seersucker.
