Making your own garment can be quite intimidating at times, but the result is definitely very rewarding. Being able to choose your own fabric, color, style and more importantly using your own measurements really worth all the effort. Thus today I am excited to share this simple yet beautiful knit pencil skirt project.

What I love about this pencil skirt is the lovely close fitted silhouette that is flattering in most body type, also the comfort in wearing it (thanks to the yoga pants style waistband). The pattern is relatively simple to make with no complex math or shaping required.

Hello my creative friends!!
As the weather gets warmer, why not treat yourselves a new skirt.
This linen skirt is not only adorable, it is also comfortable, and very easy to sew.
I added some sashiko style hand embroidery (literally simple vertical lines running stitches).
We are going to use elastic for the waistband, and add some in seam pockets on both sides, this will come very handy, to keep your cellphone or keys.

3. Length from your waist to your knee (or wherever you want your skirt to fall)

Then you will need to cut two rectangles with the following formula :

 A line skirt is one of the most flattering skirt silhouette for pretty much every body type. This is one of the fashion staple that you should have at least one in your closet. 

This skirt is made out of jersey knit fabric, and the waistband is the foldover waistband that simply makes this skirt extremely comfortable. The pattern of this skirt was made out of my existing skirt, hence in this tutorial you will also learn a little bit about pattern making/manipulation
