Once you’ve downloaded and printed the pattern, you can start choosing your fabric. The pattern recommends a lightweight cotton or rayon, but you can use any fabric you like as long as it drapes well. Once you’ve chosen your fabric, you’ll need to cut out the pattern pieces. The pattern includes pieces for the skirt front, skirt back, waistband, and ties. You’ll also need to cut out a piece of interfacing for the waistband to give it some structure. When cutting out your fabric pieces, be sure to follow the grainline arrows on the pattern. Now it’s time to start sewing! Begin by attaching the waistband interfacing to the wrong side of the waistband piece. Then, sew the front and back skirt pieces together at the side seams, right sides together. Finish the raw edges with a zigzag stitch or a serger. Next, attach the waistband to the skirt. Place the right side of the waistband piece to the wrong side of the skirt, aligning the raw edges at the top of the skirt. Stitch around the waistband using a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Then, fold the waistband over to the right side of the skirt and press. Now it’s time to attach the ties. Fold each tie in half lengthwise, right sides together, and sew along the long edge. Turn the ties right side out and press. Then, fold the raw edges of each tie under and topstitch along the folded edge. Lastly, attach the ties at each end of the waistband, making sure they’re centered. And that’s it! You now have a beautiful and comfortable wrap skirt that you made yourself. Wear it with sandals and a tank top in the summer or with boots and a sweater in the fall. The possibilities are endless! In conclusion, learning how to sew a wrap skirt is a great skill to have, and this free pattern is the perfect way to get started. With just a few pieces of fabric and some basic sewing skills, you can create a stylish and comfortable skirt that you’ll love to wear. Happy sewing!
