Schnittchen featuring Pattydoo – New Sewing Pattern Skirt Franka

neues-schnittmuster-rock-franka

 

Maybe you already know: Ina from Pattydoo launched together with snaply Nähkram her first fabric collection. Four different fabric lines came out – all GOTS certified, in other words all fabrics are fair produced, low-emissioned and made with biologically produced natural fibers.

I also was asked to sew something with the new fabrics and when the fabric arrived I remembered a pattern which I wanted to release already a long time ago. Sewing Pattern Skirt Franka is a wide skirt with an elastic waist for little ladies in all sizes. I have sewn the skirt with Geometric Fever Line Orange from Pattydoo .

The skirt is very easy to sew and also suitable for beginners. It is a multize pattern including sizes 98-158. And for those of you who need the skirt even bigger – just grab Sewing Pattern Skirt Elsa. It’s exactly the same skirt but for Teenies and Ladies. It comes in sizes 34-46.

As already mentioned the skirt is easy to sew but for those of you who need some assistance I brought out again the photo tutorial for Skirt Elsa. It’s exactly the same for Sewing Pattern Skirt Franka.

Have fun Sewing!
