Free pattern: Chevron maxi skirt

Laura from Sew Different shares a free pattern for making a chevron maxi skirt. It flares out into a long A-line, with slits at the sides. The sewing is actually fairly simple, but you’ll need to take care when cutting so you can piece the striped fabric to a chevron. Her tutorial shows how to do this. Her free pattern comes in UK size 12 (US size 8/10). If you need another size, you should be able to adjust it fairly easily using a skirt (or pants) that fit you as a size guide.
