Sweet, swishy, and summer-ready. The Cupcake Mini Skirt is everything I want in a playful warm-weather piece: ruffles, ease, and just enough structure to make it feel polished.
I designed this skirt because, honestly, skirts are always among my most popular patterns—doesn’t matter if they’re tight, flared, or ultra twirly. You all love a good handmade skirt. And since summer is right around the corner, I thought: why not add a new one to the lineup?
This one’s got built-in shaping for the hips, a soft ribbed waistband, and is worked top-down in spiral rounds. It’s beginner-friendly and quick to make, with a hidden drawstring and easy-to-adjust fit. The pattern includes instructions for customizing the waist, hips, and length.
Oh, and if you want something a little less ruffly? I recommend the Flirty Skirt (just swap the alpaca for cotton and boom—summer version).
