{"product_id":"folkwear-231-big-sky-riding-skirt","title":"Folkwear 231 Big Sky Riding Skirt","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuy the 231 Big Sky Riding Skirt sewing pattern from Folkwear. At the turn of the 20th century, enterprising equestrian women wore a divided skirt that enabled them to ride astride, but preserved the look of a skirt. This garment is actually a culotte with a movable front panel that buttons either to the left, for a skirt effect, or to the right for a pant effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA deep centre back pleat conceals the legs, providing plenty of fullness and assuring a smooth hipline. Double front plackets on either side of the front panel are secured with buttons, which extend down to the hem. The pattern includes side seam pockets as well as two lengths: a contemporary mid-calf length and the traditional ankle length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSewing level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\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 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e– PDF\u003c\/b\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cb\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/pages\/how-to-buy-sewing-patterns\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePDF\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb\u003e?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop\u003c\/b\u003e (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
