10 Free Skirt Patterns for Girls

Make cute, custom skirts for the little girl in your life with these free skirt patterns for girls.

When I was little, I was so excited to start the new school year or even get out for the summer. One of the reasons was, my mom used to make a lot of my clothes and she especially loved making dresses and skirts. In fact, she made my 8th-grade graduation dress. It was blue and silky and I loved it so much because it was one of a kind and no other girls in my class had a dress like that. There is something so special about getting hand-made clothes. It means more than any store-bought garment ever cold. You can feel the love and care that went into it. Plus, it’s fun to see your patterns and designs take on a life and memory of their own. If you have a special girl in your life you are hoping to make memories for, here are 10 free skirt patterns for girls to get you started.
