Woohoo, more of the 2020 unblogged projects backlog! This skirt was the last garment that I sewed in 2020.

It’s the Pattern Emporium Follow Me Wrap Dress and Skirt pattern – obviously this is the skirt!

As with all Pattern Emporium patterns, there are quite a few variations included. From their website: Allow the Follow Me Knit Dress & Skirt to take you on a journey of style, discovery & self expression.
By combining different style options, lengths, hemlines & details with a variety of knit fabrics from drapey to full bodied, you can fill your wardobe with a whole range of unique skirts and dresses from just the one pattern. Enjoy the playfulness of a wrap with the peace of mind of a fixed waistline & plentiful coverage so you never have to worry about flashing your bra or knickers! All in the comfort of your fave stretch knit fabrics.

SKIRT OPTION:
Wrap front with subtle hilo hemline.
Plain or flounce detail.
Stretch knit waistband.
4 lengths : mini, mid, knee & below knee lengths.

The dress has a fitted bodice with five sleeve options and three necklines – you can see the dress version I sewed for Clare here.  But obviously, this is the skirt! I sewed the mini length with the flounce.

Although this is described as a wrap skirt, it isn’t a ‘true’ wrap. The two front pieces wrap over one another but are attached to the elasticised waistband together, so it’s actually a pull-on skirt.

I used my overlocker to finish the flounce with an overlocked roll hem rather than trying to do a narrow hem on this soft rayon/lycra knit. The fabric is from Spotlight. Love the colours in the print, and it’s very soft against the skin to wear.

Actually, I think that all the construction was on the overlocker. As you would imagine this is a very easy skirt to sew. I did do a fair bit of pinning on a flat surface to ensure that the flounce piece was attached evenly – it’s easy to stretch flounces out of shape. There is elastic inside the waistband, but it still stays flat without any gathers when worn.

Cardigan is from Princess Highway, and grey top from Cotton On.
