Rookie Wrap Skirt (Youth)

A simple and classic wrap skirt perfect for beginners.
Fully lined with optional rear pockets this pattern is not only easy to make but is also a adjustable fit, accommodating all figure types.

For beginners we recommend the external fastening with a button and elastic loop (no need for button holes) but you can also use fabric ties, D rings or buckle. With a velcro internal fastening and full lining the skirt could also be reversible.

Using plain or patterned fabric the pattern can make up a skirt for every day wear or dress it up with heels for special occasions.

This pattern is extremely versatile and can be made with or without the rear pockets and using a huge variety of side fastenings. Instructions cover the how to of fastening:

• Button & elastic loop
• Fabric ties
• Buckle
• D ring

FABRIC

Please refer to the FABRIC REQUIREMENT CHART as one of the last images on this product listing. You can magnify this image if viewing it on a mobile phone whilst in a fabric store.

SKIRT OUTER FABRIC:
Any form of woven fabric will suit this skirt so have a bit of fun using heavier weight woven fabric for winter and lighter weights (not flimsy) for summer. We recommend cotton and cotton blends, cotton drill, velvet (non stretch), corduroy or even light weight upholstery fabrics. As long as the fabric is not stretch, you can use just about anything.

Our orange floral sample is made up in cotton weave (it is retro fabric we found at a second hand store) and the paisey fabric with border is a heavier nylon/cotton blend. The 2 blue skirts are a cotton and a cotton blend and are heavier weight (but not upholstery weight).

SKIRT LINING
Use a lighter weight woven for the lining. We used 100% cotton upcycled retro sheets because they are cheap and fun and we are doing or bit for recycling.

*Please also note that all (new) fabric should be pre-washed in case of shrinkage. Some fabrics will not shrink but 100% cotton,linen and rayon are almost guaranteed to shrink. It doesn't hurt to be safe and remove any dodgy chemical build up that may have occurred during printing anyway.
