Introducing the Sightseeing Skirt

I'm pleased to announce our September pattern, the Sightseeing Skirt. 

The Sightseeing Skirt is a bias-cut, half circle skirt, practical for casual wear, but with a satisfying swish.

Cutting the skirt on the bias gives a lovely drape, and forms a striking chevron when made in a stripe, check or directional fabric.

Originally conceived as a pattern extension to the Cosmopolitan dress, the Sightseeing Skirt also works great as a standalone separate with the included waistband, or with any number of bodices (the photos show the skirt worn with the 1941 shirtwaist bodice made as a cropped jacket). You can also optionally add the in-seam pockets from the Going Places Skirt. 

Please note there are no step-by-step sewing instructions in the attached pattern booklet.
