The Sylvie Sewing Pattern

If you’ve been craving a skirt that makes you feel instantly fancy, then Sylvie is your girl. She’s the kind of twirly, romantic circle skirt sewing pattern you put on when you want drama and movement. And because she’s size-inclusive and thoughtfully designed, she feels just as good as she looks.

You can make Sylvie as a cute mini skirt or a swooshy midi skirt, and you get to decide if you want slash pockets or a waist tie for a statement bow moment. The whole skirt is made from panels so you can use up your fabric scraps, mix prints, play with colour blocking… honestly, it’s a scrap-busting dream!

The waistband is comfy with elastic at the back, which means your tummy can expand freely (necessary for all-day wear!). Tie the waist ties at the front or the back for a long, flowy bow, or wrap them around your waist for a super cute short bow. There is an invisible zip too, making it a fab next step for intermediate sewists looking for their next sewing challenge.

Sylvie works all year round, which is why people love her. Make the mini in suede or chambray with tights and boots for a cosy autumn look, whip up a gingham version for summer picnics, or go full glam and sew the midi in a drapey velvet or satin for a night out. If you’re into whimsical, floaty, twirly skirt patterns, this one is absolutely calling your name.

And when you make yours, I want to see it! Check out the sewing inspiration over at #sylviecircleskirt on Instagram.
