    My lesson does not show how to draft a pencil skirt pattern. It begins after the skirt has been completely drafted, darts and all. Drafting is the portion I really need. Thank yon.

    This course is a continuation of our first course, How To Make a Basic Skirt. That course shows you how to take measurements and draft a pattern for a simple, basic course. You then take that simple skirt pattern and use this lesson to alter it to draft the pencil skirt pattern. Sorry for the confusion.

    Very good lesson. I am finally glad to be able to draft a pencil skirt pattern. I love skirts and love to make them . Can you alter a commercial pattern to a pencil skirt?

    I would say it depends on the skirt. Definitely the more basic and less details, the easier it'll be.
