BALLOON SKIRT PATTERN
Regular price €19,00
PRODUCT DETAILS
The Balloon Skirt is a midi-length skirt featuring a flared silhouette, a straight waistband, a concealed zip closure at the back, and side seam pockets. Designed for versatility, this skirt offers two style options: with or without the distinctive balloon effect.
For the style shown in the photos, we paired the skirt with the top from the free Pyjamas pattern, modifying it by shortening the sleeves.

Suggested fabrics
Light to medium-weight fabrics are ideal. The balloon option works best in a fabric with some structure to hold the balloon shape, while the skirt without the balloon looks beautiful in a fabric with drape. We use fabric from Rekotex, which repurposes high-quality surplus fabric from leading fashion brands. The balloon skirt is made of black silk, while the non-balloon skirt is sewn in a medium-weight wool blend.
Additional supplies needed
- Concealed zipper 25 cm
- Fusible interfacing
