Estuary Skirt – Printed Pattern | Sew Liberated
$23.99 USD
The Estuary Skirt is a beginner-friendly, body-friendly skirt pattern that you’ll feel like wearing every day of the week.
The Estuary Skirt comes in sizes 0-30 and features a comfortable elastic back. The button front placket, which can be sewn with buttonholes OR as a faux, buttonhole-free placket, makes this skirt a great project for all levels of sewists.
Wear it with plain or graphic knit tees, woven Strata Tops, or warm it up in the winter with a cropped sweater or sweatshirt, leggings and boots. Effortless outfits. And big ol’ pockets – instructions for either patch pockets or in-seam pockets are provided. The skirt can also be lengthened or shortened to your heart’s content.
Designed by Sew Liberated, the independent pattern company founded by Meg McElwee.
