Buy the Olive Skirt sewing pattern from Dhurata Davies Patterns. This two-tiered, floaty, casual skirt is perfect for many occasions. The pattern includes two different designs and two ruffle lengths, giving you four options to choose from. Both designs have generous pockets, a practical elasticated waist with minimal gathers and a dipped hem. The pockets of views A and B are located on the side seams, while the pockets of views C and D are at the front, integrated in the side panels. Wear it with simple cropped tees, tank tops, camisoles or shirts in the warmer months, or layer it with knitwear, jackets and boots in the colder months. This is a beginner friendly pattern with no zips or buttons to install.

This pattern has five eighth inch seams so it was easy to French seam the top part. I had to cut the ruffle in three parts and allow for that when buying as I was using 110cm fabric. I clipped the pocket seam corners on the second pass which I need not have done. It's also necessary to pay attention to the way the finished seams are lying when they cross over others.
If making again, I would top stitch the pocket tops before attaching them to the skirt front and back as they have a tendency not to lie flat.
It's a great pattern and I wore it to a summer evening concert. Now I want to make a matching top.

This is a really super pattern. The skirt was straightforward to make with excellent instructions. The style is very comfortable to wear with a nod to the current trend for ruffles whilst cleverly not creating too much bulk over the tummy/hip area. I used a nice soft viscose from Sew Me Sunshine which feels lovely against the skin and was not too challenging to sew. I made a size 14 without alterations. It was great to find a pattern which I don’t have to lengthen (5’ 10” tall) - as you can see it’s ankle length on me. Thoroughly recommended!
