Create yourself a classic handmade skirt with the help of popular pattern designer, Tilly & The Buttons.

Great for confident beginners, Ramona is a sleek and chic pencil or mini skirt with dreamy details. There's a mini-length or knee-length hem with back slit; invisible zip closure at the side; waist darts, centre back seam and gently curved waistband for a great fit; and a choice of casual patch pockets or 60s-inspired faux pocket flaps with optional buttons. All of which make this such a wearable skirt!

Why are these patterns so great? Not only do you get the pattern, but also full-colour step-by-step instructions with photographs. For this pattern, there's also a free video tutorial that will teach you how to neatly insert an invisible zip at the side (link to video in the printed pattern booklet).

Use medium-to heavy-weight woven fabrics that hold their shape, such as corduroy, denim, drill, jacquard, tweed, or wool suiting. For the lining, you'll want slippery lining fabric such as cupro (Bemberg), viscose (rayon), acetate or polyester lining.
