YouTube tutorial:
The Kayla skirt is a mid to low rise, romantic, twisted-panel trumpet skirt designed to flatter the waist and upper hips before softly widening into a flirty, flared hem. Its bias-cut panels create movement and a striking diagonal effect. The individual panel construction also makes the Kayla skirt a lovely scrap busting project. Use coordinating fabric remnants, contrasting colours, or mixed prints to create a unique patchwork or colour blocked version, just make sure each piece is large enough to accommodate the required bias grainline.
The pattern includes two length options: knee and midi. As well as two finishing options: fully lined or finished with a waist facing. The centre back seam features an invisible zipper. Choose between French seams for an enclosed finish or standard straight stitched seams finished with a zigzag stitch or overlocking.

Fabric and Material Recommendations
Fabric and Material Recommendations
The fabric must be woven or non-stretch. For the best drape, something that has a bit of stretch along the bias, however the pattern has been designed to fit around the waist even if there is minimal bias stretch.
Weight: 100gsm - 250gsm.
Examples of fabrics: Cotton lawn, washed linen, cotton dobby, satin, crepe, georgette.
Considerations: If choosing something below 150gsm, consider lining it fully to add some weight. Choose a lining that is the same or a lighter weight than your main fabric.

This is my first bias cut skirt and I did french seams, which was made easy by the amazing guided video! I wore the skirt a lot since I made it and got a lot of compliments. This bias cut skirt has a unique design that did take some time to cut and sew all the panels but the result is very satisfying.
Love this skirt!!! The way it fits on the body and how comfortable it is!!!
