Overskirts were raised, divided and pulled aside to display the elegant handwork. In later years, Western pioneers made simpler calico versions of this skirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quilting is concentrated in the lower part of the skirt, while the upper skirt section is lined with fabric alone. The skirt falls in gathers from a narrow waistband with a placketed side opening. It may be cut ankle or calf length. View A uses commercial pre-quilted fabric. Views B and C may be machine or hand quilted. View C has a more elaborate quilting design and no ruffle. Designs are given for a typical floral spray design and grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe skirt is very pretty today with a lacy blouse or knitted top for causal day wear or romantic evenings, especially in cooler climes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefoldline.com%2Fhow-to-buy-sewing-patterns%2F\u0026amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C2055db73b3ff43fa6a0c08d812112ec9%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637279212288807611\u0026amp;sdata=jGOEMr6nT4ZZme5CCL3wpMxImes8GGoiMxBHviYtfeQ%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop \u003c\/strong\u003e(We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
