McCall's Sewing pattern 7981 Z

Make a versatile women’s skirt with McCall’s Sewing pattern 7981 Z. This dressmaking pattern is rated intermediate and gives you four different skirt options, so you can choose the style and length that suits your wardrobe best.

Versions A and B are gathered skirts with front pockets, while C and D are flared skirts with side seam pockets. A and C finish above mid-knee, and B and D reach lower calf length. That mix of silhouettes makes this an adaptable sewing project, whether you prefer a more everyday skirt or something with extra movement.

The pattern is unlined and fastens at the front with buttons, giving you plenty of scope to choose the fabric by the metre that works best for your project. Light to medium-weight cotton fabric, linen fabric or denim all suit the style well. If you enjoy sewing with fabric by the metre and choosing your own finish, this is a practical and inspiring pattern to add to your collection.

McCall’s pattern 7981 Z includes a 1.5 cm seam allowance unless otherwise stated, so you can get started with confidence and sew with precision.
