Cleo Skirt
The Cleo skirt by Made by Rae is an excellent beginning sewing pattern.
This gathered skirt features a flat-front waistband with elastic in the back. Two views are included: a knee-length version with cutout pockets and contrasting hem band, and a midi-length version with inseam pockets. Cleo’s versatile design works with many different kinds of fabrics; make it with cotton for an everyday staple, or dress it up with silk for a fancy party skirt!
