Sew a Fun and Easy Knit Skirt for Summer!

You really can make your own skirt pattern and then sew this fun T-shirt knit skirt. It is such a pleasure to build up a collection of patterns that fit you well and that allow you to create any design that you want! 🧵✨ As we move away from the "Big 4" pattern companies, it's a great time to learn how to draft your own patterns.
Start with this video to draft your own skirt sloper (basic pattern block):    • How to Draft a Skirt Sloper  
Then move on to this video to turn your sloper into an A-line skirt:   • Make a Beautiful Bias-Cut A-Line Skirt! 😍
