No doubt the Simple Skort Sewing Pattern is my favorite! I wanted to design a sewing pattern that boosts your sewing confidence and makes you want to sew more. That’s exactly how this high-waisted skort came to life.

I kept the design clean and simple, skipping pockets to avoid extra bulk and ensure a sleek, flattering fit. These shorts and skirt in one have become my go-to, whether I’m heading out on a date or just going for a walk. And like all my sewing patterns, this skort is incredibly versatile, it all depends on the fabric you choose.

This skort sewing pattern is designed to be comfortable, feminine, and classic. It’s perfect for winter with tights and just as stylish in summer with bare legs - I wear mine all year round! Plus, it’s so beginner-friendly that even if you're new to sewing, you’ll finish it in no time.

And of course, I’ve included detailed, step-by-step sewing instructions to guide you through the process. I hope you love sewing this skort as much as I do!
