PatternPuzzle - Two Twist Skirt Patterns

In developing the ideas for this puzzle it occurred to me that there are many ways to make a twist skirt pattern.  What came out of that process are the pattern images below that offer two ways to cut a twist skirt.

The sketches below give you an idea of the anticipated results of the different styles of twist.  If you'd like to learn my method for creating Twist Drape Patterns I have a detailed worksheet for making Jersey Twist Patterns.   The first sketch and pattern on the left is the single twist, and the sketch and pattern on the right are for the double twist.  In the first we twist the lower skirt of the main pattern and in the other we twist two tail shape pieces and join them back to the skirt.


You'll find all the pattern making detail on the website blog.

  1. Just brilliant! I'm off to try both variations. Many, many thanks for tackling this project; I can finally clear my head, which has been spinning from trying to figure things out since I first saw this skirt.

    1. Thanks for dropping by. I don't have proportions for this skirt as it is based on my own skirt block. If you have a skirt block you can follow the instructions to make your own pattern. If you need a skirt block you will find mine here in all the sizes: http://www.studiofaro.com/resources-and-downloads/downloadable-blocks/skirt-block-sizes-6-16-a0
