Named Clothing - PDF Sewing Pattern - SHADI Pencil Skirt

The Shadi Pencil Skirt PDF Sewing Pattern by Named Clothing is a simple, comfortable style with a high waist and elasticated waistband. Designed for stretch fabrics, it's an easy project to sew and fit, making it a great option if you're new to dressmaking or looking for a straightforward wardrobe staple.

The pattern includes two length options. Make a classic knee-length pencil skirt or choose the ankle-length version, which features a deep side slit for ease of movement. Both styles have a clean, close-fitting silhouette that works well with everyday tops, shirts and knitwear.

Shadi is designed for stable, medium-weight knit fabrics with 40–50% stretch and good recovery. Ponte and rib knit are recommended, as both offer the stretch and structure needed for a well-fitting skirt that keeps its shape. Make sure your fusible knit interfacing also has at least 40% stretch.

Available in sizes EUR 32–56 (UK 4–28), Shadi is a beginner-friendly sewing pattern for making a versatile stretch pencil skirt in the length that suits your style.
