The Get Up and Go Skirt is a great pattern, whether you're starting out sewing garments or you've been doing it for years. This classic shape has a special twist: the elastic back waist makes it so comfortable to wear that you'll find yourself making a dozen before you know it. You'll look chic and put-together even when you're racing to carpool after a day of keeping up with your busy schedule.
I can honestly say I've made DOZENS of versions of this design, and find it rewarding to sew, easy to wear, and a great vehicle for showing off fabrics I love.
