Etsy Spotlight: Layered Ruffle Skirt PDF Pattern

Hello, ruffles! This Layered Ruffle Skirt Sewing Pattern is bringing all the drama in the best way possible—flirty, floaty, and oh-so-fun to wear. Whether you’re dreaming up a bold boho look, a romantic cottagecore vibe, or just want to twirl your way through summer, this skirt delivers style and comfort.

This PDF pattern is available instantly and is designed for confident beginners and seasoned sewists alike, with clear instructions and size inclusivity. The elastic waistband makes it easy to wear (yes, please), and the tiered layers add volume without the bulk—perfect for flowy fabrics like cotton voile, rayon, or lightweight linen.
