This is another skirt I made for my older sister, probably back in 2020 as a Christmas present. It is a free sewing pattern from Lekala, and it was actually one of the first patterns I downloaded, but I never got around to making it. Finally, when I needed to make something as another present, I decided to make this.
The pattern is very simple. It has 8 panels that are wider at the bottom, which create a nice flare. I made the skirt out of navy blue “biostretch,” which is what this common polyester fabric is called here. To add some interest, I sewed shiny bias tape along the seams. A simple waistband finishes the skirt, with a zipper on the left side.
The skirt is very nice, yet simple. The flare gives it a nice shape, and it was easy and relatively quick to sew up. This pattern is definitely a success, and I used it again later to make two skirts for myself.

How do I get your pattern for size 8
Hi! The free pattern is on the Lekala website at the link included in the post under the first picture. Once there, you can choose the size you want to download. This is not my pattern, so I can’t give you any more specific sizing details. I hope that helps!
