Butterick pattern 6249-E5

Butterick pattern 6249-E5 is a versatile sewing pattern for a stylish women’s skirt. Designed for sizes 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48, it gives you a clear and practical base for a dressmaking project with a flattering, wearable shape. This is a medium-difficulty sewing pattern, making it a good choice if you have some sewing experience and want a project with a little more detail than a beginner pattern. The instructions are in English and French, and the pattern is supplied in an envelope. The skirt design includes a self-lined yoke, a side zip and a stitched hem. View A and B feature a bias drape, while View C and D include a waistband. View D also has pockets and bands, giving you extra options for a more structured finish. The 1.5 cm seam allowance is included unless otherwise noted, so you do not need to add it separately. Pair this Butterick sewing pattern with a fabric by the metre that drapes well to help the skirt hold its shape and movement beautifully. It is a great choice for making a skirt you can wear in everyday outfits or dress up for a smarter look.
