INTRO TO CLOTHING: 70s WRAP SKIRT

This Wrap Skirt was inspired by an authentic vintage pattern from the 70s (…it even came with a template to embroider a chicken onto the pocket!). We streamlined the design, added a 2nd, more modern pocket option and graded it into lots of sizes.

If you’re ready for something a *little* more advanced, this wrap skirt is a great clothing project for those who are starting to feel comfortable on the machine / more advanced sewers.

The cool thing about a wrap is: there’s at least 4 inches of leeway with sizing - super handy for size fluctuations and big lunches!

As always, ALL materials are included. (We bought a bunch of gorgeous new fabrics just for this skirt!)
