Fibre Mood Alida Skirt

Buy the Alida Skirt sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. Oh the Scrabble matches you'd win if you could make a compound word from wrap, paperbag, and skirt! Wishful thinking aside, this skirt is sure to score you compliments galore. Alida's patch pockets and slit at the front look cool and chic. The belt has a fabric covered buckle to boost the paper bag effect at the waist. The designer has made an Alida that ends just below the knee, but of course the length is entirely up to you!
