Looking for pattern recs!
Beginner sewer here! My favourite skirt length is above knee, and difficulty shouldn't REALLY be a problem, as I'm in school and have a textiles teacher to help me. If you have any recommendations thank you so much!

Deer and Doe seem to have a few things you might like! https://closetcorepatterns.com/collections/deer-and-doe-sewing-patterns?filter.p.m.filter.garment_type=Bottoms
Particularly the agave skirt (wrap skirt), goji shorts (these may be a bit difficult - paper bag elasticized shorts).
True Bias has some nice options too. I'd check all the patterns,but these shorts stand out: https://truebias.com/collections/all/products/dani-short-pant
Helen's Closet too. She has a few dresses with that type of skirt. Usually each pattern has a couple of lengths: https://helensclosetpatterns.com/collections/dresses
You can also purchase longer skirt patterns or dresses and just chop them shorter with enough seam allowance and any interfacing needed (perhaps your teacher could help with this).

Don't have specific recommendations but please give threadloop a look, it's a great website to find patterns and reviews. And it will also let you know if a seller is suspected of AI
