Free pattern: Easy pleated skirt

April 8, 2015 by Anne Weaver

Deby from So Sew Easy shares a free pattern for making this Easy Pleated Skirt. Its a simple lightweight skirt with pleats on the front and the back. The pleats provide the shaping at the hip and waist so there are no darts. Side pockets are optional (though I can’t imagine ever choosing not to have pockets). You can make it in any length to suit your personal style. Her free pattern comes in 9 sizes to fit waists 25- 41 inches and hips 34-50 inches.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
