Free pattern: Easy pleated skirt

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.
