Merchant & Mills – Clementine Skirt Pattern (Sizes 6-18)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Sizes: UK 6 – 18

Description

This slim fitting jeans skirt features a back split and shaped waist band. To ensure the best fit, the designers recommend making a toile first and becoming familiar with the pattern instructions. Rather than using a traditional run and fell jeans seam, they opted for a topstitched seam that’s easier to achieve on a domestic machine. They suggest using heavy duty thread for an authentic look, or matching ‘sew all’ thread in the bobbin for a better stitch.

Fabric Suggestions

8-12.5oz denim (up to 14oz with a heavy duty sewing machine).
