Buy the Weaver Skirt sewing pattern from Allie Olson. The Weaver Skirt is a lined, fitted knit skirt with a hidden elastic waistband. View A falls just above the ankle, and features double side slits to the low hip. View A offers a full lining or a hidden partial lining that smooths over the hips and falls just above the side slits. View B is a fully lined mini skirt with a simple hem.

Suggested fabrics: The Weaver Skirt should be sewn using four-way stretch knit fabrics with at least 40% cross grain stretch.

View A should be sewn in fabrics with lots of drape. Bamboo, rayon, and modal blend knits are recommended for both the self fabric and the lining. Stretchy sweater knits can be used as the self fabric to create a cosy skirt. If sewing View A with a full lining, use a coordinating lining fabric, as it may peek out at the side slits and hem.

View B can be sewn in more stable knit fabrics like ponte, but again this should be combined with a lightweight knit for the lining.

Regardless of fabric selection, the self and lining fabric should have comparable stretch percentages in both directions.

Fabric requirements: Additional fabric may be required for directional prints or print matching. The fabric requirements are given for the self OR the lining. You will need fabric for both.
