Stitch up a breezy skirt to add to your summer wardrobe. Skirts are easy to construct and can be customized in so many ways.

They are a stylish and fun way to stay cool this summer! Sew one for yourself with one of these women’s skirt sewing patterns.

As a general rule, if you’d like to make a skirt for summer that is lightweight and easy to care for, I recommend the following fabrics.

What Fabric is Best to Use for Summer Skirts?

- Lightweight Woven Fabrics including 100% Cotton and Linen blend fabrics. - Cotton Lawn Fabrics (these are very lightweiht, and may be a bit sheer, so you will need to add a lining).

Some of these skirt patterns do feature a zipper closure. A few feature an elastic pull-on waist. I would not recommend eliminating a pattern because of a zipper.

Do I need to add a Zipper?

Circle Skirt

The skirt is made from rayon, and I also constructed one from seersucker fabric.

I created this skirt several years ago when I had a fat quarter package of fabric that I could not bear cutting up! I did convince myself to cut into it and stitched up this skirt which has become an all-time favorite.
