🩰 Chavadanser – The skirt that gently introduces you to gathers
Are you new to sewing or looking for a simple and rewarding project?
Chavadanser is an easy-to-sew gathered skirt, perfect for mastering gathers and enjoying a fluid, feminine garment with lots of movement.
Wear it with a simple t-shirt or a little top.
Chavadanser is the little sister of Chavafroncer. I designed it using the Basque pieces from the Chavafroncer dress.
If you already have the Chavafroncer dress/blouse, you can download the Chavadanser waistband for free to make the skirt, by clicking HERE.
And if you start with the skirt, you'll find a discount code (for €2) for Chavafroncer in your pattern!
In short, if you have Chavafroncer, you can sew Chavadanser for free. And if you only want Chavadanser, it's €2.
