I’ve been looking for some new-to-me pattern companies and recently decided to check out Pickle Toe Patterns. I tested their newest pattern the Moonstruck Skirt.
One of the first things I noticed is that this pattern comes in a wide range of sizes: 00 – 36! That means I can make skirts for just about every woman I know including my teenage daughter.
It really is a simple skirt, but it has so many options that you’ll want one for every day. It comes in 5 different lengths, two different styles of ruching, waistband for high hip or waist, and side vents. It’s bound to become a favorite!
The waistband was a bit fiddle-y, but in the end I decided it was worth it. I hate when the elastic twists or doesn’t stay in the right place. Because the elastic is sewn to the top of the waistband, there’s no way for it to wander.
I made the maxi with ruching on one side, but I only did it on the bottom 12 inches. I cut a piece of 1/4″ elastic about 6 inches long, measured up 13 inches from the bottom, and then stretched it to 1″ from the bottom. You can do it on both sides, but I love the asymmetrical look.
Get your Moonstruck pattern while it’s on sale.
Fabric is a rayon blend from Mily Mae.
