Click here to download the link.Seam allowances are included in the pattern, 3/4 inch at the hemline and 3/4 inch at the waistline and 1/4 inch at the side seams of each gore. Seam lines are marked in the pattern with dashed lines.
Please note that the hem allowance is 1/2 inch not 3/4 inch as shown in the pattern.
This is a one-page pdf.
Print the pattern page on an A4 paper. Make sure you have set page sizing to "Actual size" before you print the pattern.
You can measure the 1 inch x 1 inch square in the pattern page to check whether the page has printed correctly.
This is how you will arrange the pattern pieces (8 gores) on the fabric to use the fabric efficiently.
You will need a 38 cm by 40 cm (15.75 inches by 15 inches) fabric to make this skirt.
You can make it easy by folding the fabric twice (so you get 4 layers) and place the pattern pieces like in the picture below, and cut the pieces all at the same time.
I have shown here how to join the 8 gore pieces to make the skirt.
There is no separate waist band in this pattern. You have to fold the waistline by 0.25 inch and then again by 0.50 inch, and sew over the folded edge leaving a small gap to feed the elastic in. Insert a 3/8-inch-wide, 9-inch-long elastic through the casing, and overlap the ends of the elastic by 1/2 inch and sew them together. Sew the gap in the casing closed.
Then, fold the hemline by 0.25 inch, press, and then fold again by 0.5 inch, and sew along the folded edge.
And that's it! You have made a beautiful skirt to add to your doll's wardrobe!
