Mini Skirt Sewing Patterns

For a shorter skirt project, compare the waist position, flare and coverage you want while sitting as well as standing. This collection currently centres on one proposed A-line design.

A shaped waist and a shorter hem

The Darted A-Line Skirt is planned with front and back waist darts, a fitted waistband and a concealed back zipper. Flare develops through the side seams. Its brief includes mini and below-knee views within the same pattern, with final lengths to be confirmed during preparation.

Choose your intended waist position before assessing the hem. A fitting sample will help you check the balance of the flare and whether the shorter view gives you the movement and coverage you want. Browse all skirt sewing patterns to compare other constructions.
