DGD loves skorts, she can be pretty-short-skirt-feminine and a tom-boy-practical both in the same outfit! ;-)She spotted a nice red-blue-taupe plaid in my stash and asked if I could make her one. I've looked online at the big three plus Kwik Sew and I'm not finding a pattern for this project. I suppose I could just wing it, make a skirt and attach soft knit shorts, but I'm hoping one of you has a recommendation for a pattern which has worked for you. DGD is almost 11, quite slim, and very into "stylin' ", so she has *very* definite ideas about how it should look. What she wants is to replicate this Lands End skort: She really want the bias yoke, and I'll make a 3-1 pleated skirt below that. Question is, how/where are the "shorts" attached? Any ideas?Thanks,Beverly

that's an unusual skort version - here skorts are basically a pair of shortswith a flap on the front. the flap is attached to one side seam and the it'sheld in place on the other side with a buckle or Velcro - so one sees askirt from the front and a pair of shorts from behind.could the shorts be attached at the waist on the one you show?

Any recommendations for a "skort" pattern?
