About this pattern

Both boxy tops and pencil skirts can be difficult to style individually, but together they create a balanced silhouette.

Amanda Walker has designed each piece to make the most of the fabric, using the chambray’s reverse to make a contrast hem, then doubling up the knit for a thicker skirt with no bottom hem. You can make it from a single layer too, just add a hem allowance to the length. Better still, there are no fussy pattern pieces, simply draw directly onto the wrong side of your material!

Essentials

  • Chambray 1m, (150cm)
  • Jersey, 2m
  • Elastic, 3cm wide
  • Tracing paper (optional)

Sizes

  • Top: fits sizes 10-14
  • Skirt: custom-sized

    Top sewing tip

    When stitching the side seams, start sewing 12cm from the base to later create side splits or begin at the bottom if not to your taste.
