I'm so happy to announce that our beloved Cleo skirt PDF pattern is now available in an updated size range! Our BRAND NEW size range now includes fourteen sizes (A-N) and is designed to fit waists 25-60 inches [64-152 cm] and hips 35-70 inches [89-178 cm]. I'm excited to debut this all-new size range with our Cleo pattern! 

 

 We've also updated the Cleo instructions to give them a fresh new look – including adding metric numbers to our charts – and added layers to the pattern pieces so you can select just the size(s) you need when you print them. We also simplified the pattern pieces to reduce the number of printed sheets and conserve paper.

 

If you've been waiting to try this pattern, you're in luck: this week only you can take 25% off the newly updated PDF pattern!

 

For those unfamiliar with this summer staple, Cleo includes two views: View A has a curved cutout-style pocket and a contrasting double-folded hem, while View B has hidden inseam pockets and a longer length. In addition, the pattern pieces are arranged to make it easy to mix and match features (view a pockets with view b length), or add length (to create a Cleo maxi).

 

To see the new size and yardage charts for Cleo, as well as tutorials and our Cleo sewalong, visit the Cleo page on my website. You can also find more info on the new size chart in this blog post.

Let's take a look at a few versions of Cleo from two of our lovely testers…

 

Jenny’s second version is a fun cotton madras print, also View B:

I made my first Cleo skirt back in 2013, and it's been a summer favorite for me; I wear my Cleos all summer long. This classic design has stood the test of time, and I hope you love this updated version as much as I do. I'm especially happy that the new pattern pieces will allow many more people to sew beautiful versions of this pattern for years to come. 

 

Happy sewing!
