About Style Falcon

Style Falcon sewing patterns are thoughtfully designed for women in midlife and beyond, making it easier to create a handmade wardrobe that feels comfortable, flattering, and true to your personal style.

Style Falcon patterns are drafted using proportions that differ from the traditional youthful hourglass block commonly used in commercial patterns, offering another fit option for sewists whose bodies are better suited to these proportions.

This includes:

• Little bust-to-waist definition

• Lower bust points, for a “C” to “D” cup

• More room at the tummy, hip and sleeve bicep

• Center-back seams, with rounded back and forward shoulder shaping

• For people about 5’4” (about 163 cm)

See the sizing chart for a list of body measurements and finished measurements for this pattern.

About the Straight A's Skirt

Look smart in this six-paneled A-line skirt. Ponte, scuba or other stable knits or stretch woven fabrics sew up easily and drape just enough to flatter curves. Hidden elastic at the waist provides comfort without that “elastic waist” look. And pockets? You know it!

View A is hemmed above the knee and features side-seam pockets for a casual look.

View B has clever in-seam front pockets with button closures and a below-knee hem.

Fabric Choices

The Straight A's Skirt is perfect for stable knits such as ponte, scuba and double knit. It also works well with stretch woven fabrics. See the materials chart for everything a sewer needs to make this skirt.

Sewing Experience and Help

The Straight A's Skirt View A is suitable for beginners. View B is more challenging because of the pockets and is recommended for intermediate to advanced sewers.
