The Haxby Skirt is bound to be your new go-to party skirt. With three lengths and two different waistlines (on the natural waist and above the waist), you can make a multitude of looks from just one pattern. The eight godet panels in the Haxby Skirt make it the ultimate in twirling and make it the perfect canvas for a gorgeous lightweight fabric.
Whilst you sew up the Haxby Skirt with Becca, you’ll learn everything there is to know about handling and inserting godets. Use our technique of sewing up godets and you’ll get the crispest points to your sewing! Along the way, we’ll also be talking about constructing and attaching a facing, inserting an invisible zip and how to level a hem (a technique that’s a must in this project!).
Fabric Suggestions
The Haxby Skirt really suits a fabric with a decent amount of drape. You’ll want a woven fabric such as a crepe or a viscose, or even a chiffon for those who are feeling adventurous! This pattern is a great base for showing off a print – just imagine how stunning those panels would look in a stripe!

So what is a PDF pattern?
A PDF pattern is a downloadable pattern that you print yourself at home. Simply download, print, tape together and let the sewing begin! When you print the pattern, print at 100% (you might have to uncheck the scale box). Print page 1 first, the square should measure 10cm x 10cm.
