Tutorial: Girls’ Pip Skirt with contrast pocket panels

Jenn from A Jennuine Life shares a tutorial for making her Pip Skirt. It’s a girl’s gathered skirt, but with deep pockets sewn into contrast side panels. It’s a super cute style that’s easy to make. Her tutorial gives cutting dimensions to make the skirt in girl’s sizes 2 to 12. Her tutorial is part of Skirting the Issue, a tutorial series organized by Simple Simon & Co. to encourage sewists to make skirts to donate to girls in foster care.
