Meadowdays Skirt

A quick and easy make, the Meadowdays skirt will make a great addition to your wardrobe at any time of year, just as chic in autumnal plaids or formal taffeta as light summer cottons.

The skirt is made in four flared gores, with a deep ruffle at the hem. The main gores are cut on the bias, while the ruffle is cut on the straight grain, giving scope to play with print directionality.  View 1 is made all in one fabric, while view 2 features a contrast ruffle. 

Perfect paired with the Lido bodice - I couldn't resist making a version in pink gingham to wear to the Barbie movie!

Paired with the Lido bodice, and made in pink 1” gingham check

Made in a poly-rayon blend crepe

As an extra bonus, the pattern also comes with a vintage Simplicity guide to sewing with stripes and plaids with some top tips for pattern matching. 

The pattern comes in modern sizes 4-20 US / 8-24 UK. Get the pattern and instructions on Patreon.

I think I’ve described every one of the patterns I’ve released through my Patreon as my favourite, but there are definitely some I come back to time and again. The #daytripperdress is one - it was among the first patterns I released, and
Another throwback to Madagascar last year and my fishy beach cape. I’ve long been obsessed with the concept of beach capes, which were popular in the 1930s-50s, often made in chenille or terrycloth fabrics. I’ve used this one on beach hol
Throwback to our Madagascar trip last year, and this tropical dream of a pattern, the #waterfalldress from #charmpatterns. Inspired by an original “Polynesian pattern” edition, it works great in a floaty viscose challis like this for the
Another of my favourite patterns is the #mimosadress, which I released last year. I’ve made five versions of it now. I like that the relatively simple silhouette lets a bold print like this shine. It’s also another one that comes together
More views of the #catskillshalterneck bodice (paired with the #sightseeingskirt). It was fun playing with geometry with this stripe fabric! For this version I cut the bodice front on a bias, aligning the grain with the neckline to create the V effec
