Hamsey Skirt
Description
The Hamsey is a calf length skirt with shaped waistband for comfort. The soft gathers add fullness at the hem and the button fastening to the side with a deep split shows off your pins (or if you’d rather not, just add poppers or top stitch closed to give a faux opening). It’s light and compact enough to fold up and pop in your hand luggage or suitcase. Pair with our Salvington Top or Brighton Cami and sandals for holiday sight seeing. Pop a cardi over the top for summer evening drinks outside.

About Our Patterns
Our patterns are printed on high quality paper rather than tissue paper, making them much more re-usable and less likely to tear. Patterns are packaged in a sturdy re-usable string and washer envelope and come with a clearly written and illustrated instruction booklet, along with a QR code that will take you directly to the corresponding YouTube video tutorial.
Our tutorial videos all features chapter marks, allowing you to jump directly to specific construction steps without needing to search through the video manually. They also contain useful hints and tips from the Sussex Seamstress herself. Tutorials are produced with the maker in mind, and are to-the-point and informative.
