Sew Over It Niamh Skirt

Buy the Niamh Skirt sewing pattern from Sew Over It. This pretty gathered skirt flows down from a V-shaped yoke, which creates a stylish, close-fitting silhouette around the hips. With three lengths to choose from – short, midi and maxi – the Niamh Skirt is great year round. The shorter above-the-knee length is cute with pumps in the summer or tights and boots on colder days. The midi length is great with sandals or knee high boots. With the maxi length, you can channel boho vibes for summer festival chic, then switch to heeled boots in the winter. Simple, yet elegant and timeless, this sewing pattern suits everyone and every season.
