An Easy A With The Acacia A-line Skirt!

Seeking the perfect skirt with endless customisation options? Look no further friend, because the Peppermint Acacia A-line Skirt has got you, boo!

Accessible to beginner and experienced sewists alike, its classic style makes this skirt a wardrobe staple and a pattern you can happily play on repeat. Curved front pockets and the fun exposed-zip detail at the centre back make this style pop! The Acacia is a blank canvas, awaiting inspiration – add contrast top stitching, trim the pockets with bias binding or even change the length. We’ve chosen the smooth, clean lines that come from facing the waist, with back darts to ensure a neat fit on the hip. *chef’s kiss*

Made in collaboration with our friends at Weft And Warp Fabrics, our version of the Acacia A-line Skirt pattern was sewn using the Tollerton 100% cotton 9oz denim. We added contrast top stitching using Gutermann Professional Jeans Thread in Dark Gold 1970 for that classic look. 

Weft and Warp are passionate about helping you create beautiful clothes you love, to fit the body you have. They proudly offer all things garment sewing – fabrics, patterns, supplies, A0 printing and classes – from their storefront in Canberra, Australia, along with an online store brimming with sewing treasures.

We recommend heavier weight fabrics like denim, corduroy and sturdy drills. Try pairing with tights, boots and a jacket – may we suggest the Peppermint Viola Quilted Jacket pattern? (Imagine a matching quilted outfit. Swoon!).

We also worked with Glen and Scott at RBD (Rollason Bowring Design) in Melbourne to bring our pattern vision to life. Ethical Clothing Australia accredited and an Australian Fashion Council member, RBD are well-known in the fashion industry for their patternmaking knowledge and expertise.
