The Easy Does It Skirt: The Skirt You Didn’t Know You Needed (But Totally Do)

Let’s talk skirts, shall we? Specifically, the Easy Does It Skirt—a new wardrobe essential and an absolute game-changer for your sewing adventures. If you’ve ever wanted an A-line skirt that’s as versatile as your favourite pair of jeans, you’ve found it. This one ticks all the boxes—whether you're after a mini skirt, knee length skirt, midi skirt, or maxi skirt, this sewing pattern delivers.

So, why am I so obsessed with this skirt? Well, it’s all in the name: Easy Does It. This skirt is easy to sew and easy to wear. It’s got that relaxed pull-on design (hello, no zips or buttons!), and with a flat front waistband and elastic back, you can customise the fit to suit your body & your personal style. Whether you like your skirts high-waisted or slung low on the hips, or somewhere in between, the elastic makes it so simple to get that perfect fit.

 

It’s All About Options

One of my favourite things about the Easy Does It Skirt is how flexible it is. Are you more into a flowy, feminine vibe? Go for a slip skirt in silk or rayon—it’ll drape beautifully and move effortlessly.

Feeling a bit more structured? Pick up some linen or tencel denim, and add the optional centre front seam for topstitching detail and extra style points. You can also add side splits for a little extra leg (or leave them out if you’re feeling more demure).

And don’t get me started on pockets. This pattern comes with the option for hidden in-seam pockets (you know, the kind you secretly love) or bold, utility-style patch pockets if you want something more urban. Pockets in skirts are a must, and these options let you have fun with it.

 

Fabric Changes Everything

You might have heard me say (on repeat) that fabric choice is a game-changer, and the Easy Does It Skirt proves it. A silky, drapey fabric will give you that classic slip skirt vibe—perfect for summer nights or casual weekends. On the other hand, using a fabric with more body, like linen or wool, can create a more structured A-line shape, giving you a bit more of a tailored, polished look.

In my latest video, I styled the Easy Does It Skirt in different fabrics to show just how much your choice of material can transform the skirt’s vibe. A slinky silk animal print gives you an effortlessly chic look, while a heavier denim version with topstitching and utility pockets brings a more streetwear vibe.

 

Lengths to Suit Every Mood

This skirt pattern comes with a range of lengths, making it perfect for any season and any occasion. Feeling flirty? Go for the mini skirt. Want something in-between? The midi skirt sewing pattern gives you that perfect balance of comfort and style. And if you’re looking for a statement piece, the maxi skirt pattern is the way to go—just picture yourself in a long skirt with a breezy side split!

 

Seasonless Style

The Easy Does It Skirt isn’t just for one season, either. It’s the ultimate year-round piece. Pair it with a chunky sweater and boots in winter, or keep it cool with a Time Out Tank in the summer. You can style it up for a fancy occasion with a beautiful Sweet Talker Bubble Sleeve Top, or keep it casual with a tee, like the Besties, for running errands.

This skirt has quickly become my favourite because it’s so easy to adapt. You can change the length, tweak the fit, and use your favourite fabric to create something that feels completely you. And let’s be real—who doesn’t love a quick and satisfying sewing project that you’ll actually want to wear?

 

Your New Wardrobe Staple

Whether you’re sewing a long skirt pattern for cooler months, or whipping up a slip skirt for summer, the Easy Does It Skirt is about to become your go-to. It’s everything you want in a skirt pattern—easy, adaptable, and always stylish.

So, grab your fabric, choose your details (pockets, splits, seams—the works), and let’s get sewing. The Easy Does It Skirt is calling your name.

Happy sewing!
