Introducing the Swingtime Skirt
I teased this pattern with the release of the Butterfly Sleeve in October, and I'm now very pleased to formally introduce the Swingtime Skirt. The Swingtime Skirt features shirring at side fronts, which releases into soft folds and adds extra fullness and swish.
I created this skirt pattern a few years ago, and it remains my favourite skirt pattern. Now professionally graded to a multi size pattern in waist sizes 26-36, I'm very excited to share it with you - I hope you love it as much as I do!
This skirt is designed as a pattern expansion to the Daytripper dress skirt, so if you already have that one printed you need only print the shirred side front gore, although the full skirt is included in the attached printable pattern for convenience.
As this skirt is intended to be paired with a bodice, no waistband is included, but you could always use the waistband from another pattern (such as the Sightseeing skirt), or draft your own.
Note: This pattern is just for Patreon subscribers. Please do not share these downloads externally, so that I can keep creating exclusive new content just for Patrons!

Has anyone made this as a standalone skirt?
What bodice is this? 😍
This is the cosmopolitan dress bodice and butterfly sleeve. I hacked the bodice slightly to make a back midriff piece (the basic pattern has a one-piece bodice back) so it would work better for the colourblock effect - let me know you want a tutorial!
