Meet the new item from Waffle Patterns Cargo skirt <Anzu> sewing pattern. This is a work/outdoor-wear inspired A-line skirt with functional details and many pockets, like a tool pocket, hammer loop, or holster pocket.
Make it with all the fun options or just keep it simple for daily use as you like. Depending on the design options or fabrics, it will be a hiking skirt, work apron or travel skirt, etc.
This is also a skirt version of my popular pattern <Azuki> cargo pants. If you like work/outdoor items, please try Azuki pants, too.
<Design options>
The front opening has 2 options; double-breasted with button closure or zipper opening. I think the zipper type is suitable for daily use and double breasted will be fun for a work apron. The side pockets are also 2 types. Please choose from the edge type and easy patch type.
For the long-length version, you can add three more patch pockets. They are all workwear-inspired functional designs; zipper pocket, flap pocket, and back tool pocket.
My favorite is the back zipper pocket on the yoke. I think it’s also nice to make with waterproof materials like thin nylon for hiking or travel skirts.
You can sew with or without the details like adjuster belt, hammer loop, inside pocket, back pleats, or lining. Please choose them as your fabric and design intention.
The yellow sample in the photos is intended for daily casual wear, featuring short length + side patch pockets + zipper opening. The salmon pink sample is more like a workwear style. I made it with long length + back pleats + double-breasted front opening and add many fun pockets.
<fabric recommendation>
The pattern is drafted for woven fabrics. Medium weight skirt fabrics will be suitable. For the authentic workwear style, denim, canvas, duck, cotton twill or chino are suitable. For travel/hiking skirts, outdoor fabric like softshell, water-repellent or some quilted fabric will be an interesting option. Just make sure that some specially thick fabrics are not suitable for details like pockets or pleat. Also some fabrics may require size adjustment, I recommend to make muslin for perfect fit.
It includes the lining pattern, too. Of course you can sew without a liner. Please choose suitable lining material depending on the shell and your design intention.
The salmon pink sample was made with mid-weight cotton duck. It was very easy to handle and a very fitting material for workwear.
The yellow sample is a mixed cotton twill. It is quite thick, so I avoided unsuitable details like the back pleat, layered pocket, etc.
I’m planning to make one more for the winter season with quilted fabric or water repellent fabric with warm fleece lining.
<Other>
You can make it with or without the back pleat. For outdoor/work use, the pleat version will be more reasonable for more movement ease. The detachable holster pocket shares the same size/design as Azuki cargo pants. If you already made the pants, you can use the same pattern if the size is the same.

Alexander McQueen’s fw 2001 show was a truly grotesque piece of grande theatre. The show entitled “What a Merry Go Round”, was presented on giant carousels almost as if taken from a circus back in the 20th century. However, instead of joyous children playing on them, they were haunted by models, who pole danced and walked across them as if it was their last stand. The eerie imagery was expanded by genius makeup by Val Garland, which made the models look like sad and morbid clowns. The clothes found inspiration in a mix of Victorian and 20th century fashions. The show had a number of now iconic looks, like the black and white gown worn by a model who pulled a gold skeleton across the floor, which was attached to her leg.
I can upload this! Probably because it’s a screenshot of Photoshop. Tumblr Support stopped responding to me about me being unable to upload my art, so I’ve been abandoned with my malfunctioning account. Thanks, guys. 👍🙃
But here’s an Austin O'Brien from GX because he deserves more… everything, honestly.
