Our Zamia Skirt free sewing pattern is far from ordinary. You’re almost guaranteed to be asked: “Where did you get that skirt?” every time you go out in it. Make sure to pat yourself on the back when you say “I made it”, as you strut away while turning heads! This mod skirt has very unique details that scream for attention. The fitted silhouette hugs every curve in all the right places and Mood’s foil printed ponte shimmers in the light, while the sheer mesh aligns the hem, showing just a sliver of skin. I plan to wear this look on a date night with the hubby, but you could also rock this on a night out with your girls and break a couple of hearts! Try using a stretch knit or neoprene or scuba knit as another option. Be sure to let us know how you plan to wear your Zamia Skirt!
Purchase materials used below:
- 1 yard of Black Ponte Knit with Red and Blue Foil Design
- 1 yard of Black Stretch Polyester Power Mesh
- 2 yards of Black Shiny Double Folded Tape
- MDF141 – The Zamia Skirt Sewing Pattern (free download below!)
All seam allowances are 1/2″ unless otherwise stated. See chart below for sizing specifications. Note, this specific pattern is available up to a size 30.
Step 1
Sewing the skirt is pretty straight forward. Attaching the facing and mesh underlay may seem a little tricky, but it’s actually quite easy!
Step 2
Once you’ve attached the front of the skirt to the back of the skirt at the side seams, you can set it aside and work on your facings.
Step 3
Pin the facings together at the side seams, and do the same for the mesh underlay.
Step 4
Next, sandwich the mesh between the skirt and the facing and pin it all the way around the bottom.
Follow the curved edges stretching the mesh to fit as you sew.
Step 5
Press the facing and edge stitch the bottom to keep it nice and flat.
Step 6
Now sew together your waistband front and back pieces. Pin the waistband to the skirt and stitch. Fold down the top of the waistband and topstitch along each edge.
Step 7
Finish skirt bottom by trimming in with shiny double folded tape for a stunning look! That’s it, you’re done!
Beautiful love it well made thanks
Love It!
Love it!!!
I made this skirt using the beautiful fabrics shown in the photos. The finished skirt is very pretty. The directions for applying the hem band and facing could have been clearer, and more photos of this step would have been useful.

Hi!
It is a very beautiful Skirt and want to sew a similar one, but I can not Download the pattern.
This morning I downloaded only one pattern, the other links from mail takes me to the main page.
Are we allowed to Download only one free pattern?

You’re a gem, Shavonne. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Im looking forward to making this! If I wanted to use non-stretchy fabric, would I have to size up?
Hello, since this pattern does not have much ease, you would need to size up as well as add a side zipper.
