Free Skirt Patterns

A wardrobe is just not complete for any fashionista without a bunch of sassy, statement-making skirt pieces. So many of us have spent years wowing Rachel Green’s plaid skirts and drooling over the super on-fleek skirts worn by many of the characters in our favorite tv series.

#1 Free Rabbit Skirt Pattern

This skirt looks super cute and it’s a must-try during the holiday season. It would be perfect for Easter and even Christmas. You can make its base using any stripey, plaid, or polka dot pattern fabric, and applique some cute little bunnies on it, and finish it off with some delicate lace.

#2 Free Baby Skirt Pattern

Baby clothes are so fun to make, and when you or the little one look at them, in the later years, they are bound to have a happy tear rolling down your cheeks, in nostalgia. This cute baby skirt pattern won’t take up much fabric so you can even put to use any fabric leftovers, or you can pick some cute fabric from the store and create these lovelies for your little loved ones. It’s best to use soft cotton fabric and fine lace, so the skirt doesn’t feel scratcy on the baby’s soft & delicate skin.

#3 Free Slip Skirt Pattern

Slip skirts aren’t meant to be worn on their own, rather they are worn as a layer underneath your actual skirt, so if you have a beautiful skirt that you absolutely adore and do not want to give away any time soon even though it feels rough on your skin, or maybe it sticks to your legs due to static, or it doesn’t have the right fall and grace on its own, adding a slip skirt as an initial layer, will sort all of that out for you. Slip skirts are easy to make. Follow the link to find out how.
