Simplicity Sewing pattern 3139

The Simplicity Sewing Pattern 3139 lets you sew a smart women’s skirt with a pleated look in sizes 36 to 44. Designed for an intermediate sewist, it combines a flattering high waist with practical details, making it a rewarding dressmaking project for everyday wear or a more polished finish.

A versatile skirt with thoughtful details

This skirt pattern includes side seam pockets, an invisible zip and length variations, so you can choose the version that suits your style best. View C also includes a belt, giving you an extra option for shaping the finished look. It’s a useful sewing pattern if you enjoy making garments that are both stylish and wearable.

Good to know before you start

The pattern is supplied in an envelope and includes a size chart plus instructions in English and French. Seam allowances of 1.5 cm are included unless stated otherwise, so you can get started without adding them yourself. That makes it easier to prepare your fabric by the metre and begin cutting straight away.

Fabric suggestions

This skirt works beautifully in fabrics with some drape, such as cotton blends, linen, poplin or other lightweight dressmaking fabric. For the waistband and fastening, fusible interfacing is a sensible choice to help keep the shape neat and stable. If you’re choosing fabric by the metre, a woven fabric with a clean finish will give the best result.
