Getting to Know the Natalie Skirt

With many customizable features, the Natalie button-front skirt is a wardrobe essential that's never boring! Natalie's sweet shape may seem simple, but there's several features and views to play around with. Choose between a straighter A-line silhouette or go for the fuller flared view. The optional raised waistband features an eye-catching angled seam the echoes the sleek diagonal of the slash pockets. Little details like the optional tie belt and belt loops take this skirt pattern up a notch.

Fabric Focus

While the Natalie skirt is a sewing pattern made for woven fabrics, different woven fabrics will result in deliciously different garments. We love how a drapey fabrics like tencel, silk and viscose give Natalie a swishy, floaty feel. More structured fabrics will emphasize the lines of the Natalie skirt, making the A-line appear straighter and the flared view even fuller.

For this sweet, swishy Natalie skirt, we used a Mind the Maker viscose paired with the flared view of the skirt. We turned up the drama with the raised waistband and wrap around tie belt. And to put it over the top, we even added self-covered buttons for a lovely finish!

This A-line Natalie paired the straighter skirt and straight waistband with a lush cotton velveteen and snaps (domes) for a cute and casual look.

A simple, black skirt is a essential. Made in a viscose twill, this flared Natalie is the perfect basis for so many looks. We love how the raised waistband gives this wardrobe staple a little something extra.

Skirt Sewing on Your Terms

The Natalie skirt is truly a choose-your-own-adventure pattern. From the fabric to the many features and variations of the pattern, even down to the skill level, you're in control and we're here to help! For a beginner-friendly sew, go for the A-line view with the regular waistband in a stable fabric, or challenge your skills by picking a slinkier fabric and all the extra features. Either way, our in-depth, fully illustrated instructions will guide you through!

Our testers had some very kind words about the pattern too, which was so heart-warming.

"This pattern was so nicely put together it was a joy to sew! It was a very quick project but the results are lovely."

"It came together very easily, and I think would be a really exciting sew for a beginner sewist."

"I looooooove the raised waistband. It's so beautiful and unique."

How to sew a slash pocket, a step-by-step photo tutorial

This tutorial will walk you through one of my favourite types of pockets. This pocket is used on our Valerie raglan dress and the Natalie gored skirt, and creates a lovely diagonal line that makes an elegant style feature. Slash pockets can be a little bit trickier than a standard in-seam pocket due to the bias edges that the diagonal line creates, but I promise you they are really enjoyable to sew, and not too hard!
