Tayla skirt is a vintage-inspired design which features a below the knee length and side gathered panels. It is romantic, elegant, and goes well with a blouse or a simple top. Let’s have a look at the detail of this design: Tiana’s Closet sewing patterns are made in 10 sizes from XXS to 5XL so you may find a suitable size for yourself. If you are not sure which size suits you, take a look at the measurement table before doing anything here: SIZE GUIDE. The pattern is made using layered PDF, please check for your desired size before printing so you won’t waste your paper. I have included a first page with many details about sizing and printing, so please first read the first page and make sure you know what size you need! If you still do not know how to print a layered PDF, please check for the printing instruction in this post: PRINTING GUIDE. My patterns are now made in both A4/Letter paper and A0 paper format so you can print at home or at any print shop! For home printers, you can print this using your home printer and either A4 or Letter paper. I calculated the printing area so that you will be able to use either type of paper to print the pattern out perfectly. Always print the first page first and check with the test square if you are printing at the right scale before you print out the whole pattern – avoid waste of ink and waste of paper, save the earth! Some PC may print smaller than actual size even when you choose 100% scale – I don’t know why this problem exist, but my HP laptop cannot print true to size. I have to scale up to 103% to get the right size. You may need to check with your PC to see if it prints true to size, if not, scale up a bit. I was informed by a reader that you can also print the pdf as image to get the right scale, however I never tested it on my computer. SEWING INSTRUCTION You will need: Fabric of your choice. This pattern is intended for WOVEN fabric. Scissors, pencil or fabric marker, ruler, pins Sewing machine/Serger or needle and thread Printed pattern How much fabric do you need for this piece of garment? To be precise, you may need to check how much fabric you need before buying. It will depend on the selected pattern size, the width, and design of the fabric you plan to use. Just to be sure, print all the paper patterns and lay them out at the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from 90 to 150 centimeters or 35 to 60 inches). Measure how much fabric you will need. Don’t forget to account for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut on the fold. Cutting instruction: After printing out and taping all the pattern pages together, you will get something similar to this: All my patterns already include 1cm (3/8in) seam allowance. Just cut the pattern pieces as is and use a 1cm seam allowance when you sew. The fabric will be cut into following pieces: Front Skirt: cut 1 piece on the fold Back Skirt: cut 2 mirrored pieces Side Skirt: cut 2 pieces on the fold Front Waistband: cut 2 pieces main fabric + 1 piece fusible interfacing Back Waistband: cut 4 pieces main fabric + 2 pieces fusible interfacing (into mirrored pairs) Place the pattern pieces on the fabric, pin the pattern pieces to the fabric to secure them in place. Using sharp scissors, carefully cut out the fabric pieces along the outer lines of the pattern. Take your time to ensure precise and clean cuts, as this will affect the fit and overall appearance of your garment. Make sure to mark all notches and other design features such as darts, pleats, draw marks etc. from the pattern pieces onto your fabric. When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up. Sewing instruction 1. Sew the Front and Back Skirt - Place Front Skirt and one Back Skirt right sides together, pin and sew the side seam. - Repeat with the other side. 2.

Let’s have more detailed look at the design: As usual, my pattern is made in 10 sizes from XXS to 5XL so you may find a suitable size for yourself.

Don’t forget to account for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut on the fold. Cutting instruction: After printing out and taping all the pattern pages together, you will get something similar to this: You will see that there are 2 sets of lines on each pattern piece. The inner lines are sewing line (and you sew along these lines), and the outer lines are cutting lines (you cut the fabric along these lines, remember the folding lines where you have to fold the fabric before cutting). The distance between sewing line and cutting line is seam allowance, and it varies from point to point. For example, the side seam allowance is about 1/2 inch (1.2cm), and seam allowance at hemline is 1 inch (2.5cm). This is the reason why I do not remove the sewing lines from the pattern. Please use it as a guide to know how much seam allowance you need to give at each seam. The fabric will be cut into following pieces: Upper Front: cut 1 on fold Upper Back: cut 1 on fold Lower Front: cut 1 on fold Lower Back: cut 2 mirrored Sleeve: cut 2 Neck Band: cut 1 Place the pattern pieces on the fabric, pin the pattern pieces to the fabric to secure them in place.

When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up. Sewing instruction: Because you are working with knit fabric, make sure you know how to work with stretch fabric. This is a guide on How to work with stretch fabric. 1. Serge/zig zag stitch the raw to get a professional look 2. Gather the bottom edge of the Upper Front piece, from one notch to another, matching the measurement between two notches on the Lower Front piece. 3. Place Upper Front and Lower Front right side facing. Pin and sew to join. Press seam allowance toward the Lower Front. Topstitch the seam allowance to the Lower Front. 4. Place two Lower Back pieces right side facing. Pin and sew to join. 5. Place Upper Back and Lower Back right side facing. Pin and sew to join. 6. Sew the underarm seam of the Sleeve. Pin it to the armhole of the main garment, right side facing, matching the notches. Sew to attach the Sleeve to the main garment. 7. Sew two short ends of the Neck Band.

DOWNLOAD LINK AT THE END OF THE POST I am sharing the pattern for a t-shirt with a twist (literally). I was trying to look for something less basic but still easy enough for beginner, and the Allison twisted front shirt is just the perfect choice! It is based on the basic sweat shirt, and with just some more work, an added detail gives the garment character. No more plain sweatshirt – wear this beauty with your jeans for a stylish outfit! This is an image of a similar design made of velvet. I think it's a bit bulky but worth having a look :) As usual, my pattern is made in 10 sizes from XXS to 5XL, so you will find yourself a suitable size. You can also lengthen or shorten the hemline to get your desired length – you can even make a maxi skirt from this pattern. The pattern is made using layered PDF, please check for your desired size before printing so you won’t waste your paper. I have included a first page with many details about sizing and printing, so please first read the first page and make sure you know what size you need! If you still do not know how to print a layered PDF, please check for the printing instruction in this post: PRINTING GUIDE. You can print this using your home printer and A4/Letter paper. I calculated the printing area so that you will be able to use either type of paper to print the pattern out perfectly.

SEWING INSTRUCTION You will need Fabric of your choiceScissors, pencil or fabric marker, ruler, pinsSewing machine or needle and threadPrinted pattern What fabric can be used for this project? This design can be made with knit fabric because it needs some stretch for the neck, sleeve cuffs and twisted waist. How much fabric do you need for this piece of garment? To be precise, you may need to check how much fabric you need before buying. It will depend on the selected pattern size, the width, and design of the fabric you plan to use. Just to be sure, print all the paper patterns and lay them out at the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from 90 to 150 centimeters or 35 to 60 inches). Measure how much fabric you will need. Don’t forget to account for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut on the fold. Cutting instruction: After printing out and taping all the pattern pages together, you will get something similar to this image: You will see that there are 2 sets of lines on each pattern size. The inner lines are sewing line (and you sew along these lines), and the outer lines are cutting lines (you cut the fabric along these lines, remember the folding lines where you have to fold the fabric before cutting).

Please use it as a guide to know how much seam allowance you need to give at each seam. Fabric will be cut into following pieces: Front: cut 1 pc on the foldBack: cut 1 pc on the foldSleeve: cut 2 pcsSleeve Cuff: cut 2 pcsNeckline Binding: cut 1 pc Make sure to mark all notches and other design features such as darts, pleats etc. from the pattern pieces onto your fabric. When sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up. The fusible interfacing is optional. It is used to make the collar stiffer and stay true to shape, but omitting it will not cause you too much trouble. Sewing instruction: 1. Serge the fabric to prevent the sides from unraveling. 2. Fold the center curve at the hem of the Front piece and sew a narrow hem (pictured). 3. Now you look at the Front, you will see that there are two “tails” hanging down. Place one “tail” over the other, match the short end of the tail with the side seam, pin toward the center front. The other tail will be “trapped” in a loop. You will see that you cannot completely close the loop but be sure to make it as small as possible. Sew the tail to the main part of the Front piece. Repeat with the other one. Now you get the twisted waist. (I’m not good with explaining with words, so I tried to make an image, but it does not look that good either, hope you will understand by trying a few times lol). 4. Hem the Back. 5. Place the Front (with twisted waist done) and Back right side facing. Pin and sew the side seams and shoulder seams. 6. Sew the side seam of the sleeve. 7. Sew the side of the cuff. Fold it into half with the seam allowance folded in. 8. Turn the sleeve inside out. Place the folded sleeve cuff onto the opening of the sleeve. Pin and sew to attach the cuff to the sleeve. Pull the sleeve cuff so it will stretch and match the sleeve opening. Do it with both sleeves. 9. Place the sleeve and the armhole right side facing. Match all notches. Pin and sew to attach the sleeve to the garment. Do it with both sleeves. 10. Sew the two short ends of the neckline binding. Fold it into half. Pin it to the neckline of the main garment and sew to attach. Staystitch to keep the neckline smooth. And here is the download link: ALLISON TWISTED WAIST SHIRT (SIZE XXS – 5XL) Happy sewing!
