Bring bold color and cultural flair to your summer wardrobe with this stunning African-inspired midi skirt. Sewn in a classic paneled style, the skirt celebrates the richness of ethnic prints while embracing one of the season’s biggest trends: mid-length skirts with a modern twist.
The silhouette is timeless yet elevated by thoughtful design choices. The multiple panels create a graceful flare that moves beautifully with every step, while a single high slit on one side adds a surprising and sophisticated touch. It’s the kind of detail that turns a simple garment into a statement piece—effortless, confident, and full of character.
This design is perfect for showcasing vibrant wax prints, bold batiks, or colorful ethnic fabrics, making it not just a sewing project, but also a celebration of heritage and personal style. Whether paired with a simple tank or a crisp blouse, this midi skirt transitions easily from daytime strolls to warm evening gatherings.
The pattern is available as a free download in two size ranges: 36–38 and 40–42. A beautiful way to explore new styles and express yourself through fabric, this project invites you to create something truly eye-catching and unique.
