Our favourite skirt sewing patterns for autumn and winter
Published on 19 October 2021 By Sarah J 2 min readIn this joyful season of twinkling lights, cosy nights and that all-round-hygge-feeling, there’s no better time to update your hand-sewn wardrobe with the season’s must-have styles. While skirts are usually worn in the warmer months, don’t overlook the humble skirt as a staple piece this season! Minis to maxis, we’ve rounded up our favourite skirt sewing patterns for this winter.
Tartan skirts
For a fun, preppy look, tartan skirts are back! With a tie waist, you can add a D-ring detail to really show off your sewing skills. With cosy woolly socks and combat boots, or styled with a shirt and sweater vest, this festive ‘fit is sure to be a hit.
Tie waisted wrap skirt
We’re loving the wrap skirts! Not just for spring and summer but, with tights and a turtleneck, you’ll be looking effortlessly sophisticated all year round. Hot off the high street, wrap skirts are a fabulous way to play around with patterned fabrics. Winter florals, or paisley prints. Whatever, your style, this works for them all!
Flared skirts and culottes
We’re going to throw a bit of a curve ball in here with this fantastic set of five flared skirts and culotte patterns by McCall’s. Culottes are just our favourite garment this season! Flattering on the figure, all the elegance of a skirt, and paired with a chunky pair of lace up ankle boots and you couldn’t be trendier.
Pleated skirts
Another wardrobe essential to add to this season’s capsule wardrobe. For a breathable, lightweight skirt as we transition through autumn, cotton fabrics are a great choice. Or, for something more warming and comfortable, Jersey is a fantastic fabric to use!
