Red Ponte Pirate Pencil Skirt

Red Ponte Pirate Pencil Skirt

I have made a few of these Pirate Pencil Skirts and the Medium is a little big on me. I made this one a Medium as well since Ponte is a thicker fabric, but I really could have sized down. I also just wanted to get it made, it was after 10 pm, so I went with what I had. I will definitely go with a Small next time! All in all, this is a simple pattern that is easy to whip up for a quick coordinating skirt when you just neeeeed a red skirt!

Pattern: Pirate Pencil Skirt from Patterns for Pirates

Fabric: Nylon Spandex Ponte from So Sew English

The only modification I made is really just an omission. I cut the bottom edges on the raw selvage and chose to not to hem it. I may go back and do so, but the hem, really isn't necessary. As stated above, I made the Medium and it is a little big. The options I went with are the high-rise and above the knee. I think I would love this skirt with the low-rise and a wider yoga waistband.
