Pattern Description: A-Line Skirt with yoke, short or long length
Pattern Sizing: Aus 8-18 / UK 6-16 / US 4-14
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yep! There's guidelines for 'using the skirt front as a canvas', encouraging the sewist to be as creative as they fancy.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Oh yes. The instructions for the invisible zip can help *anyone* do a perfect zip.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? The unique invisible zip method is the real selling point of this pattern. Another nice thing is the yoke means no darts.
Fabric Used: I've made this pattern using corduroy, canvas, cotton drill and a sateen upholstery fabric. Not all on the same skirt!
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I've followed the guidelines for embellishment to make some fantastic variations.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is my #1 skirt pattern. The result is high quality and long-lasting, and it fits like a dream.
