Read on to find out why we call it the "Perfect fit" pencil skirt.
Yes, this pattern contains three different fits, each designed for different hip to waist ratios! Speaking for myself, as a pear-shaped individual, finding a pencil skirt that actually fit was simply impossible. Not anymore!
Our model wears the 'mid' fit style. (Side note: We will be adding more body types in future photoshoots, but in the meantime, check some of our amazing customer makes on Instagram).
Finally, a skirt that can flatter your curves, no matter your shape!!
Sabrina features shaping not just in the style lines, but also has darts in the front and back. These are placed differently for each style of fit, giving you amazing control over the fit!
To learn more about fitting a pencil skirt and a common issue you may have (a tilted hemline), check out the article we wrote on it by clicking here.
You may have noticed that the lovely blush pink top we have paired with the skirt is a Clementine! The lovely soft rayon knit shows off the cowl neck beautifully.
One of the best things about the pattern is how the flattering curved lines are perfect for colour blocking. I have seen some wonderful versions from you all. Look forward to our next images having a lot of fun with the lines on this skirt. But I also like showing how subtle they can be, like in this elegant grey wool version.
Sabrina is a classic wardrobe staple, so I hope you make it multiple times! And remember, we also shared a video tutorial on how to add a flounce to the hem, if you want a little extra sass to your skirt!
Many woven fabrics are perfect for the Sabrina skirt. No stretch is required, but you CAN use stretch fabrics! We used a wool with a little stretch in it for this sample. Just avoid anything too drapey or sheer!
I hope it shows how much passion I put into the fit of this garment. This one goes out to all the ladies who've struggled with fit and just want the skirt that works for their body!
Each time that someone shares their make, I absolutely love seeing it. Check out our Instagram or Facebook for inspiration and updates. And remember, you can buy Sabrina here (and of course, for this week, use sale code, YAYSABRINA)!
I hope you've enjoyed this Sabrina inspiration, and there's more on the way soon. Our next update will be our new pattern! See you soon!
The Clementine dress and top now has a full bust option, giving you more versatility with your fit, and giving a wider range of people the option to make Clementine!
Clementine was the first pattern we ever released (aww!). It's really nice to provide ongoing support and updates for our patterns.
Check out our in-depth video on sewing an invisible zip! This tutorial was created as part of the extra content for the Ella skirt, which you can buy here. But naturally, you can use this tutorial for any pattern which uses an invisible zip!
I have been developing my invisible zip technique for years, and have tried every way of sewing them! I have combined all the things I've learned along the way into my own ultimate method. I absolutely love this pinless way of sewing. And if it scares you to sew without pins, don't worry, I have some handling tips, and even some examples that show you what not to do. If you still prefer to use pins, of course that's okay too! Sewing is all about doing it the way that makes you happy.
