Buy the Pleated Skirt sewing pattern from The Maker's Atelier. A versatile box-pleat skirt that can work across the seasons – in lighter weight cottons and linens for summer and in brushed cottons or woollen fabrics for winter.
The pattern includes two skirt lengths. This style has pockets in the side seams and is fastened with a zip and button or hook-and-bar fastening at the centre back. The pleats can be fluid and soft or crisply pressed for a sharper look.

I liked the look of this pattern so much that I bought it straight from the maker but now glad to see it on The Foldline. I managed to get the last of the beautiful striped linen from Ditto so my skirt is as on the model.
I made the loose pleated version and it all went together well. I noted that I should have finished the top edges of the pleats before sewing them. (The pattern does say to do this.) Also that, if making the loose version, there is no need to baste the whole long edge of the pleats.
The skirt is cut so there is no bulking at the waist and so you get a line of stitches on the outside above each pleat and an edge inside. Another time I might consider the thinnest of thin short linings so as to cover the edges and the pockets.
I shall wear this garment a lot along with the Vetiver top I managed to cut from the left over edges of this fabric.
Makers Atelier are great patterns. Have a look if you don't know them.
