Sofia pencil skirt with variants

See the fabric requirements chart among the pictures.

- Fabric: The pattern is designed and tested for knit fabrics with approx. 30-60% stretch. I recommend medium- to heavy weight fabrics for variant A and B. For example: Ponte, Courtelle Jersey, College, Scuba, Ottoman, knit Jacquard, Stretch Suede etc. For variant C we recommend light- to medium heavy weight fabrics, for example: Tencel Jersey, Viscose Jersey, Ottoman etc. The tutorial includes a fabric guide.

- 5 cm (2") wide elastic for the waist. (Length in chart above).

- For variant C: 4 cm (1 1/2) wide elastic for the ruching detail. Approx. 24-35 cm (9-14”) in length.

- Optional: fusible interfacing with a little bit of stretch (for variant A with back vent, and variant C).

See the size guide among the pictures.

Choose size based on your body measurements, both waist width and hip width. Sofia has negative ease in order for the skirt to have a figure-hugging fit. It’s therefore important to choose a fabric with 30-60% stretch. If your fabric has less stretch, consider sizing up. If your fabric has considerably more stretch, around 100%, consider sizing down or be prepared to take in the side seams.
