THE SKIRT THAT GOES WITH EVERYTHING

Sew a timeless wardrobe staple with the Ness skirt sewing pattern. This straight skirt combines denim-inspired details with a classic shape, making it a versatile handmade piece you can wear throughout the year.

A shaped waistband and curved back yoke create a lovely fit, while the zip fly front, belt loops and topstitched mock felled seams give Ness its distinctive jeans-inspired look. Practical in-seam pockets come as standard, with optional back pockets for even more room for your essentials. Plus, download a free coin pocket bonus pattern piece! There’s no such thing as too many pockets, amirite?

Choose a mini skirt or a below-the-knee version with a centre-front split. Wear your handmade Ness with a T-shirt and trainers in summer, or pair it with a cosy roll-neck and boots when the weather turns cooler.

great skirt pattern

I've made this twice now - cold weather and warmer weather versions. It was a bit of a prolonged make (at least for me) but only because it involves having to use the overlocker and the sewing machine - and having to switch threads/needles/tensions etc between reuglar sewing and top stitching. The actual make was pretty straightforward. As always, the instructions were great, especially the zip fly insertion video. (The green version was made specifically to go with my Rosa shirt which I also love!)

Hi CC, thanks so much for your lovely review! So glad the instructions and zip fly video helped to complete it.
The Ness skirt is designed with improvers in mind, so it’s a bit more challenging - which is great for building skills. Now that you’ve made it a couple of times and feel more confident, you might enjoy trying some batch sewing, doing similar steps together rather than one by one - it can really speed things up. :) Your both shirts look gorgeous! Happy sewing! Virginija x

A wardrobe staple

This was my lock down sew. Working from home I was always wearing a denim skirt, so decided to make my own. The clear instructions managed to guide my through a zip fly, which i never thought i could do. They were so clear that when I realised I had cut it out in reverse I didn't bother to scrap the pieces, and managed to reverse the fly. It would be nice in linen too. It's had some wear and is going strong.
