Pattern Description:
Jeans style A line skirt with front fly zipper, back yoke, large V shape back belt carrier, little side tabs with vest buckles, back vent pleat, front darts, 2 back welt pockets which I omitted. Pattern photo modeled looked quite short but I only needed to add 2 inches. Double topstitching details.
Pattern Sizing:
Patrones sizing 38 42 46. Now I take a 38 Burda fashion which relates to a 40 Patrones with waist and hip measurements a couple of centimeters smaller. So I traced in between the 38 and 42 veering more to the 42 along hip area.
Fabric Used:
Linen cotton blend on sale from Joann. Love the burnt orange colour. I was collecting orange toned fabrics a couple of years ago. I used this for yoke in tiered skirt showing yoke
And have enough for trouser jeans. Cut out but may not get to it for competition. Great wash' n wear linen. Of course it wrinkles very easily !
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
I was very pleased it fit very well just like pattern photo how I traced and took in waist just a tad. It looks pretty low slung in photo, maybe that is why waist is bigger than Patrones 40 waist measurements.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Hmmm..... all in Spanish. I LOVE Patrones and have several copies so what I do is I use a Spanish-English Franklin Merriam Websters Dictionary electronic translator. Much more accurate than Babel Fish. I have over the years learnt many Spanish sewing terms, have written a "dictionary" and can almost "read " Patrones instructions knowing what it means without having to translate in my head back to English. They are sparse but this was a very simple skirt
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the fit, back yoke and carrier detail, little side buckles flat showing buckles, back vent and back belt carrier
Patrones has great designer styles. This was a Jocavi skirt. I know Patrones is expensive, check Stoffmart web store. But it's a fun magazine to sew from and the draft, fit and cut is usually excellent.
