Skort-ing the issue Skort pattern?
lo_j   Advanced MO USA Member since 4/24/05 Posts: 23	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/7/13 2:13 PM I want to make a cute skort like the Tracy Reese one here: Tracy Reese skort And Title Nine has some skorts in knit, which a more sporty. After perusing the Big 4's offerings, I realize that I may have to fankenpattern it. A tennis skirt pattern may work? Ideas? I understand the basic concept (just shorts with a skirt attached), but I am still trying to figure out how to assemble it without too much bulk, or looking like a skirt thrown over shorts. -- Edited on 3/7/13 2:15 PM -- -- Edited on 3/7/13 2:19 PM --

Date: 3/8/13 8:13 AM I looked at the Tracy Reese skort you linked, and it would be simple to copy with two patterns. You make a very short basic pleated skirt and slightly shorter fitted athletic/workout shorts made of a knit fabric, preferably a wicking type. Sew them together at the waist band as you would a lining. That's how all my RTW golf skirts are made.

I think they are a little more stable when there is a curved yoke to the pattern. Those are also known as "skater skirts" on the runway. A cute girl wore a yellow version on American Idol recently. It was very full.
