I am Rachel, a 90s-inspired slit skirt. I am slightly flared and I have a slit that starts mid-thigh. I can be sewn in 3 lengths: midi, knee length and mini. I am fitted from the waist to the hips and I fasten with an invisible zip on the left side. I’m finished at the waist with a facing. For the mini version, you can decide to include the slit or not. It’s up to you to wear me like in the 90s or to (re-)invent a style for today and tomorrow!
I AM Patterns are designed to be traced off. The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. This means that you will be able to make multiple sizes of the garment and adjust the pattern as you trace it if necessary. For this you could use tracing paper, baking parchment, thin wrapping paper; or we can supply you with some spot and cross pattern paper.
All seam allowances are included in the pattern. The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.
Sizes: EU 36 to 46. Please refer to the FIND YOUR SIZE tab for detailed information.
