Hello Pattern Revolution Readers,

We are Al, Jo & Scary from the Shaffer Sisters. The day has come where we are taking one big leap from Sewing bloggers to Aspiring Sewing Pattern designers. We are ecstatic, nervous and totally worn out. We wouldn't have made it through without our fabulous testers & their great insights.

We really deliberated about which pattern we wanted to be our first. We felt like the Betty Skirt, was the perfect fit. It reflects all of our desires to create an e-book that has endless possibilities.

The skirt is inspired after the deep yokes and pleated skirts of the 1920's. This skirt is named after our Grandmother, who was born in the 1920s. She taught us that there is no such thing as "too dressed up". That femininity & class are still fashionable today with the Betty Skirt.

In the e-book you will find 4 different skirt patterns, that are perfect for any skill level. The Gathered Skirt is perfect for the beginner sewer, the large pleat is great for the advanced beginner, the placket & small knife pleat are great for the intermediate sewer looking for professional boutique look.

Included in the book you will find:

Instructions for getting a custom fit. By using our custom sizing chart and your child's measurements, you will be able to have a finished product that you are satisfied with. Included in the sizing is an option for plus sizes from sizes 3 to 10.
Full step by step tutorials for each skirt option
Colorful Illustrations that are easy to follow.
Rotary cutter friendly
With PDF pattern pieces for the seamstress without a cutter.

Your little girl is sure to love the ease of movement that she will have in this skirt. And it is hard not to love the modesty & class that this skirt keeps through any activity.
