Free pattern: Faux leather circle skirt

Kate from See Kate Sew shows how you can make an awesome new circle skirt out of pleather (or faux leather, or vegan leather, or vinyl, whatevery ou prefer to call it). Her circle skirt has a drop waist, which gives a more flattering fit around the tummy area. She shows it made up in two different colors of pleather – a soft pink and a metallic gold. I can’t decide which I like better! She gives instructions for drafting your own pattern. Or, if you’re a women’s size Medium she’s got a free pattern for you to download.
