Brandy Melville Inspired Miniskirt

While shopping at Brandy Melville my older daughter learned that one size doesn't always fit all especially when it comes to skirts. She asked me to make her "the same skirt": plaid flannel, short, with 2 pleats in the front. I decided to use a Vogue Very Easy skirt pattern as a template and change it into what she wanted. I used the pattern for waistline sizing and basic shape but made the skirt more A-line. I figured out how much to expand the front piece to include 2 pleats. I went shopping for fabric and when the girl at Mood said a miniskirt in that fabric was very "Gossip Girl" I knew L would like it. I made a muslin before I cut the fabric and then I was ready to go. The best part was when I do a project for her there's a hard deadline. She needed it for Monday so I sewed a lot of Sunday and got it done in time for high school on Monday.
