A New Skirt for All Seasons

 Hello, hello!  I’m back here again today with a super quick drive by post to tell you about another new Itch to Stitch* pattern! I sewed it up a couple of weeks ago for pattern testing, but it’s just been released today.

This is the Quebrada Skirt. It’s a gored A-line skirt with a total of 11 panels (five in the front and six in the back). It has a center back zip and waist facing. The pattern also comes in two lengths but really you could easily make it whatever length you wanted.

I made mine out of a medium weight cotton twill. I figure i can wear it with a sweater, tights and boots in colder weather and with sandals and a tank or tee in warmer weather!


I keep eyeballing my leftover denims thinking it would be fun to do the panels in different shades of denim like one of the testers did. Or like Kennis, the designer did, maybe repurpose some of those old jeans that I have hung on to for so long. 

Or maybe I’ll just make some more cotton skirts. The Quebrada Skirt whips up pretty easily and quickly and I have some other cottons in my stash that would be perfect for it!
