This lovely Wrap Skirt Pattern design with a gathered hem trim will turn all the heads towards you. 

You will look awesome by the beach, at lunch with friends, at a summer party… Wherever you go. 

It’s fresh, feminine, and easy to wear!! 

I love every garment I don’t have to work to put on. Dresses and pants are so complicated. 

Yeah, lazy, I know. 

But it’s true. Try putting on this skirt!

It’s almost like a towel!! 

Oh and the best thing? Is so easy to sew that you only need your basic skill set and your sewing machine. 

Using your serger machine is optional. 

For me, this wrap skirt is going to match perfectly with some of my basic shirts. 

Or like in the pictures here, with my Kelani Bikini Pattern.

Just add a pair of sunglasses and a cool hat.

Is a wrap skirt pattern easy to sew?

We made this long wrap skirt pattern so that anyone can make it.

It can be done if you have a sewing machine and have some basic knowledge of machines or hand stitches. 

This design, in particular, uses basic stitches like the straight stitch and the invisible hem.

I recommend you to see our basic stitches post to see the different stitches that you can use for the hem.

Also, if you don’t want to add the ruffled hem, remember to opt for an easy invisible hem made with a specialty presser foot.

How much fabric do I need to sew a Wrap Skirt?

For this project, you will need 1.6 meters or yards for a fabric width of 1.5 meters or 60″.

Use lightweight fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk, and viscose/rayon.

Or medium-weight fabrics, if you want more structure on your skirt, such as denim, denim, wool, or linen.

How to make a beginner-friendly Wrap Skirt?

To make this pattern easier to sew we removed the slit that most wrap skirt patterns have and replaced it with a simple button mechanism. 

Another thing you can do is to skip the pockets if they feel too much to sew for you. 

This will make it faster. 

But… Everyone loves pockets. Scratch that!

How many sizes does this pattern fit?

This wrap skirt pattern has a waist measurement of 31″ and depending on your size table can range from sizes S to 1XL.

Why, do you ask? 

Because the front panels overlap with each other! 

This gives us room to make it way bigger, and way smaller. Up and down from the basic size we are offering here.

Measure your waist with a measuring tool (AKA a measuring tape) so that you can position the button on your skirt waist to fit perfectly. 

Are you thinking what I am thinking? 

This pattern will make a great gift for your family and friends if you want to give a garment as a present and you don’t know exactly their clothing size.

Choose between the printing options letter or A4.

Once you download your PDF pattern, print it out, assemble it, and cut it.If you don’t know how you can watch our tutorial to learn how to print it and assemble pdf sewing patterns.

2. Cut your fabric.

Cut the patterns on your fabric following the indications on the patterns.

And if you want your skirt to have ruffles, you must cut out a strip of 5 ½” wide x 142″ long from the fabric.

To achieve this, you can divide the strip into the parts you want according to the width of your fabric and join the strips to make a long single one.

But if you want you can use longer strips for the ruffles to make them fuller.

3. Add Bias Tape and the buttonhole.

Take the left side of the front skirt (the one with the curve on the right side), and place it with the right side of the fabric facing up to you.

Pin bias tape of the color of your preference along the waist. At the end of the front side add a loop of ribbon to form the buttonhole.

Make sure a button can pass through.

Fold the end of the bias tape in so you don’t leave the raw end out on the open.

Sew your bias tape making sure the ribbon loop is secured.

4. Sew the pockets

Serge the edges of the four layers of pockets.

Using the notches of the pattern, position the pockets over each side of the skirt on the back and front.

Face the right sides of the fabrics together.

Sew at 1/2″.

Turn the pocket out and make a topstitch at 1/8″ of the side seam of the pocket lining.

Make sure you grab both seams, the pockets, and the skirt seam allowance.

Repeat this process on all sides of the skirt. The backsides and the front sides.

5. Join sides

Place the back skirt facing up. Place the front skirt panels on the back panel with the right sides of the fabrics facing together.

Then sew the sides ½” pass the seam over the pockets as shown in the image above. 

Press the seams of the skirt open.

6. Add the waist bias binding

To the waistband cut a 63 ¾” strip of bias binding.

Extend the skirt to the right side.

Press the bias in half and press inward ¼” on the sides of the bias.

Measure 15″ from the bias tape and mark with a pin or chalk.

From the previous mark, start placing the bias binding around the waist, through the left front and the back skirt.

When you reach the sides of the skirt, integrate the seam by making a slight curve with the bias binding, as shown in the image above. Make sure you cover the front right side of the first waist bias tape you sew first.

However, you can modify the hanging measurements of the strips on each side.

These bias-binding hanging strips will be used as cords to tie up your skirt at the waist.

7. Sew the button

To find the placement of the button, wrap the skirt around your waist and see where the inner layer falls.

Mark, use your buttonhole as a guide to where the button should be.

Make sure that the skirt is tight enough to keep in place but not too tight so you can’t breathe in it.

By adding more buttons you can play with the sizes of the skirt and you can place the buttons at certain distances, so you can wear it depending on your comfort and even share it with your sister or friends.

8. Sew the bias binding on the ruffle

This part is optional, if you want you can finish the skirt with a blind hem.

To add a nice look to your ruffles you can add bias binding to the edge of the strip.

If you have the bias binding foot you can use it. It will make the job way easier.

9. Add a Ruffle Trim 

Make a hem of ½” on each side of the strip.

To do the ruffles use the special machine foot and if you have never used it you can see our post:  how to use a gathering foot.

If you don’t have this machine foot you can do the following:

Make a long stitch along the length of the bias at ¼”, leaving enough thread at the beginning of the seam and the end (about 3″ on each side). 

You can also stitch a seam lower at ¼” as a precaution in case the thread breaks.

Pull the threads to form a ruffle along the entire length of the strip.

Arrange the gathers until there are even pleats along the entire length, and this strip measures the same as the hem of the skirt.

Place one end of the band just below the waist bias tape, with the right sides of the fabric facing together.

Secure with pins all around the skirt, sew at ½”, and press seams out.

10. Press the Ruffle Seams

Finally, serge the edge of the seam allowances of the skirt and of the ruffle trim together.

Press the seams towards the skirt bod

And that’s it! Have you tried it on already? 

I loved this wrap skirt pattern, depending on the print you can achieve a pretty unique and feminine look.

You can also experiment and use different fabric colors for the skirt and ruffles. 

Make your fabric from scraps, or reuse garments you no longer wear.

Making the skirt with pockets is very useful and even though the ruffles are optional, they give it a completely different and amazing look. 

Yes, I know it can be a little bit hard to sew and arrange the ruffles on our hem. But hang in there. It will be worth it! 

It is very easy to wear this skirt, you just close the button and make a nice knot to hold it on the other side.
