Introducing the Yarrow Skirt Sewing Pattern

This month’s patterns, Rosa and Yarrow,were designed to be just as easy to wear as they were to sew. With spring in the air and temperatures rising, we wanted to celebrate this season with patterns that felt soft and feminine but incredibly wearable. 

The Yarrow Skirt is the perfect blend of effortless style and skill-building fun. This two-tiered, midi-length skirt features an elastic waistband for all-day comfort and a flattering fit. The pleated hem adds graceful movement and is a great opportunity to practice sewing pleats. Rectangular panels make it ideal for showcasing border prints and eyelet fabric. In-seam pockets at the waist seam add function to this fashionable skirt. Yarrow is an approachable project with polished results—perfect for leveling up your sewing skills in style.

The Yarrow member bonus skirt is a breezy, three-tiered design that blends easygoing style with skill-building techniques. With a comfortable elastic waistband and in-seam pockets at the waist seam, it’s as practical as it is chic. Each tier adds volume and flow, offering a great opportunity to practice gathering while creating a beautiful, wearable result. Made with simple rectangular panels, Yarrow is perfect for showcasing border prints and eyelet fabrics. The midi length keeps the look modern and versatile.
