Pénélope is a duo of timeless sewing patterns designed for ambitious beginners. Avec leurs tailles hautes et leurs coupes flatteuses, cette jupe et ce short à poches plaquées deviendront les alliés de vos plus belles tenues d’automne. Easy to sew and comfortable to wear, these patterns are ideal for learning how to attach a waistband, make patch pockets, insert an invisible zipper, and assemble a lining (optional), all with minimal hand sewing.
Sew it in a heavy wool, a velvet, or a cotton twill: there are countless ways to make the Pénélope designs your own. Feel free to interpret them however you like, inspired by your current mood and creativity!
The patch pockets add a touch of character to the Pénélope skirt and shorts. They give the garments a subtle 1960s feel, creating a silhouette that’s both elegant and relaxed. It’s these little details that make all the difference to a look.
And because patch pockets are also a great way to develop your sewing skills, this pattern teaches you how to create beautifully finished patch pockets using a technique that’s as simple as it is satisfying.

A wide range of fabrics will work beautifully for the Pénélope pattern, so your choice really depends on the look you’re after! Tweed will give it a Chanel-inspired feel, while tartan wool will evoke the charm of the English countryside. Corduroy will lend it a soft, autumnal look. Given the structured cut of this design, avoid lightweight, drapey fabrics. I recommend a maximum fabric weight of 500 g/m². For the lining, cotton or viscose are ideal choices.

How to style the Pénélope skirt and shorts?
The Pénélope skirt and shorts are easy-to-style pieces for everyday wear. Pair them with an oversized sweater tucked in, a pussy-bow blouse, or even the Giselle top. Add a pair of tights, some ankle boots, a Sophie Scarf, and a trench coat, and you’re all set! The high waist of the Pénélope skirt and shorts beautifully accentuates your silhouette, while their A-line cut offers all the comfort you need for a busy lifestyle.
All you need is a sewing machine; an overlocker is optional. With the lined versions, all the raw edges are concealed inside. For the unlined versions, your sewing machine’s zigzag stitch will do the job perfectly.
The illustrated instruction booklet includes a whole section dedicated to fit adjustments. For example, I explain how to adjust the height of the hip line on the skirt and the rise of the shorts.
For my versions of the skirt and shorts, I chose checked wool and black wool. I found these fabrics at the Parisian fabric shops Tissus Market and Tiss’ Art. Unfortunately, these fabrics are not available online.
Pénélope est un prénom issu de la mythologie grecque que j’ai toujours adoré.
The wife of Odysseus, she is renowned for her intelligence, patience, and faithfulness. During the long years of her husband’s absence, Pénélope devises a now-legendary ruse: each day, she weaves a piece of cloth that she secretly unravels every night, thus delaying the need to choose a suitor.
But don’t worry! With the instructions provided in this pattern, you certainly won’t need to unpick at night everything you’ve sewn during the day!
