The Jill Wrap Skirt PDF Sewing Pattern was designed in tandem with the Calvin Crop and comes in a mini skirt length and a maxi skirt length. It was inspired by the effortlessly cool girls you see all over Pinterest. The minimal design is both easy and quick to sew, and easy to pair with your existing wardrobe!
With beginners in mind, a serger is not required to successfully complete this pattern. If you don't have a serger, you can opt for the lined version or use a zig-zag stitch to finish your edges of the unlined version.
This sewing pattern has BEGINNER FRIENDLY sewing instructions, illustrations, as well as a YouTube tutorial to make the construction easy to follow. You will learn how to sew a dart, how to make bias tape, how to sew bias binding, and how to sew a lining.

Suitable Fabrics:
This pattern can be sewn with a wide variety of fabrics, but in our testing we found that medium weight fabrics on the sturdier side work best. These would include fabrics like wool suiting, canvas, denim, linen, cotton corduroy and cotton poplin. When using sturdier fabrics, we recommend using a lighter weight lining fabric, or omitting it all together and following the sewing instructions for an unlined garment.
Thinner fabrics or fabrics with more drape are also suitable; however, these fabrics can be more difficult to sew. Keep this in mind when choosing your fabric. For thinner fabrics, consider silk, satin, light weight cotton, and seersucker. In this case, we highly recommend using a lining with a similar weight to your main fabric to ensure that the fabrics drape well on top of each other.
