Molly has no zip making a great choice for a new maker to achieve a lovely, wearable, softly pleated skirt. It has a clever concealed opening within the left pocket and a flattering soft pleats into a waistband.
SKILL LEVEL: BEGINNER
SUGGESTED FABRICS: Light to medium weight woven fabrics e.g. cottons and cotton mixes, linen and linen mixes, lightweight denims.
FABRIC NEEDED: 148cm (58") of at least 112cm (44") wide OR 120cm (47") of 140cm (55") wide fabric. For a longer skirt simply add the length parallel to the hem of the front and back pattern pieces. Allow double the extra length added to the amount of fabric required. Therefore if you would like a skirt 10cm longer than the pattern you will need to allow for 20cm more fabric use.
ALSO NEEDED: Medium weight interfacing, 2 x 15mm poppers (or 2 x buttons) and matching sewing thread.
