Sewing a patchwork flat front gathered skirt for girls is a charming and scrap-friendly project that combines creativity with practicality. This design features a smooth, flat front waistband that gives a neat and polished look, while the gathered skirt adds fullness and playful movement. The back of the waistband is elasticized, making the skirt easy for kids to pull on and take off independently—perfect for everyday wear. Using fabric scraps in coordinating colors or fun prints not only reduces waste but also gives the skirt a unique, handmade character that’s full of personality. Lightweight cotton fabrics work best, offering comfort and breathability for active little ones. I have featured some skirts sewing pattern, this one is easy for beginners to start with basic cutting and seaming skills. Jamie from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom shares a free pattern for a flat front gathered skirt. The front of the waistband is a flat band of fabric, but the back is elastic so it’s easy to put on or take off. It’s made from a panels of coordinating fabrics so you won’t need very much of any one print. And of course it’s always fun to mix and match prints in fun combinations! There are 2 things that are great about this skirt. The flat front- which allows you to tuck in a shirt or leave it out without too much bulkiness underneath; and the elastic back that allows for easy on/easy off and room to grow. Whether you’re mixing florals, polka dots, or novelty prints, this skirt is a fun way to showcase your fabric stash while sewing a piece that’s both adorable and easy to wear.
