ZUCKA

ZUCKA (“TSOO-kah“) is a girl’s name, but it also sounds very similar to the German word for sugar, “Zucker“. And sugar sweet is a good description for this delicious design by Farbenmix Star Designer Margaretha “Glitzerblume“ Leche. The above-the-knee mini skirt with four gores, flirty little flounces and a pretty petticoat layer offers many opportunities to mix and match fabrics, add and subtract details and expand your sewing abilities and imagination. The jeans styling lends ZUCKA a sporty look, and the underskirt a girly playfulness.

For a longer, knee-length skirt, consult the sizing chart and choose a larger size. ZUCKA is designed with every skill level in mind: Beginning sewists can choose to leave off the pockets, belt loops and underskirt for a simple, swingy look. More advanced sewists can go all out and add detail after detail.

The skirt is designed to fit around the hips. There are pattern pieces for both average and more stocky statures. The elastic waistband is comfortable and allows several seasons of wear.

Most any woven fabric works well with ZUCKA. For the overskirt, choose pretty percales in summer and corduroy for a back-to-school outfit. Choose a medium-weight denim for everyday or your fanciest taffeta and velvet for a pretty special occasion skirt. It is best to use lighter weight materials for the underskirt, such as cotton percale, tulle, eyelet, voile and so on.
