Gypsum Skirt by Sew Liberated

The Gypsum Skirt is the fraternal twin of the Arenite Pants - same ridiculously comfortable waistband and drapey pockets, more flounce. Layer it under or over dresses, wear it with a boxy top or cami, and shorten or lengthen the pattern depending on the season.

View A has unique, crescent-shaped pockets and instructions for French-seamed pockets and flat-felled seam finishes of the four skirt panels. View B is the perfect introduction to garment sewing (or just a quick sew) with the same shape as View A, but sporting only two panels with inserted, side seam pockets.

Fabric and materials recommendations:

The Gypsum Skirt is designed for woven fabrics. For View A, look for rayon challis, tencel twill, silk noil, or other fabric with fantastic drape. View B can handle a slightly stiffer woven fabric in addition to those recommended for View A. Good possibilities include mid-weight linen, double gauze, cotton ikats, and lightweight denim.

For View A:

45”-wide fabric: 3.25 yards all sizes

54”-wide fabric:
 
Size 0-22 -2.75 yards
Size 24-34 -3 yards

For View B:

Must use at least 54" wide fabric (45" wide will be too narrow)

Sizes 0-22 - 3 1/4 yards

Sizes 24-34 - 3 1/2 yards

For the waistband Dritz 2” Soft Waistband Elastic.
