New Pattern - Gathered A-line Skirt

Here's the next pattern in the Shirt Off Daddy's Back series! For those of you who are in the pattern of the month club - this will be your third lesson. For those of you interested in individual patterns - read on. :-)

A-line skirts are flattering on every body type - and they're the ones I make for myself most often. Yes - this pattern works great for adults and little ones. It also works with both T-shirts and button-down shirts. It's a really versatile technique!

This isn't a pattern per se. It's instructions to draft your own pattern (one that fits your very own measurements!) for a slightly gathered A-line skirt - that is, one you pull on, that doesn't have any fasteners. (Next month's pattern will be to draft a fitted A-line skirt that uses a the button-down front of a shirt instead of a zipper.)

Here's the catch. I originally designed all of these patterns to be part of one grand workshop - where you have access to all the patterns and all the videos together. So this pattern does NOT include instructions for the waistband - because those are in the 15 and 25 Minute Skirt Patterns. So there's a place in this pattern where I say, "Ok. Now you have the skirt part of the skirt. Attach your waistband of choice just like in the 15 Minute Skirt Pattern (if you want an elastic waist) or in the 25 Minute Skirt Pattern (if you want a knit, yoga-style waist)." What to do?

My solution is to offer some bundles here. So - in the shop you'll see the following options. . .

The Gathered A-Line Skirt Pattern
$5.00
Choose this if you already have either of the 15-Minute skirt patterns or the 25-Minute Skirt Pattern - of if you're already totally comfortable adding the waistband you choose on your own. You'll get the PDF showing how to make the skirt body, along with a companion video talking you through all the pattern-drafting awesomeness.

The Gathered A-Line Skirt Pattern with Elastic Waist
$7.50
Choose this if you want the quick and easy elastic waistband. You'll get the PDF and video for the Gathered A-Line pattern, plus the PDF and video for the 15-Minute Skirt.

The Gathered A-Line Skirt Pattern with Yoga Waist
$7.50
Choose this if you want the comfy yoga-style knit waistband. You'll get the PDF and video for the Gathered A-line Pattern, plus the PDF and video for the 25-Minute Skirt.

I apologize if this is at all confusing. My aim is to give you as many options as possible for customization - and to teach you how interchangeable the parts of most patterns really are. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions at all about what is or isn't included in either bundle.

You'll find all those options in this listing in the shop.
