My first skirt
The Rae skirt is designed for true beginners, so
if you can work a sewing machine and follow
directions you can make this skirt! Sewaholic
developed this pattern in collaboration with a local
sewing instructor. Designed as a very first sewing project for
practicising sewing and finishing seams, and with vertical seams
along the front back and sides of the skirt to create a better fit,
and more flattering silhouette than a rectangle-shaped elastic
skirt. This beginner-level project will be a garment that you’ll
actually want to wear!
