title: "Penelope pencil skirt: Designer Notes"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Penelope is the first garment I made for someone else. I just met my partner after figuring out
|
|
that I like to sew. So obviously I wanted to sew something for her. A pencil skirt seemed like
|
|
the appropriate thing to do. I found a drafting method online and made her a skirt. This
|
|
fitted remarkably well.
|
|
|
|
So when it was time for me to try making another pattern for FreeSewing, this was the obvious
|
|
choice. I used the same basis for the drafting, but changed everything to percentages, so
|
|
it would scale from dolls to giants.
|
|
|
|
The design should not pose any issues for a sewist, although the hidden zipper may be a challenge,
|
|
specially if you line the skirt (which I would recommend).
