Pattern Description:
Skirt pattern in two different styles and lengths. Both skirts have yokes and pockets built into front side seam. One is tulip shaped with front pleats, the other has six flared gores
Pattern Sizing:30 -38, 4-12. I sewed size 12.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?. Yes, I sewed view B, the flared version with tabs and top stitching 1.Tab 2. Yoke & Pocket

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes the instructions were
very explicit.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?. I liked the shape of the gored version, the side pockets and yoke.

Fabric Used:a Heavy denim. I washed this after I had constructed it, in future I will wash the fabric first.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made it as the pattern with buttoned tab and top stitching

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?. Yes. I will try the tulip shape. I would recommend it most highly

Conclusion: This is an excellent pattern which provides two different styles and lots of opportunities for a variety of embellishments

Your topstitching is great. I had this pattern in my hands last night as a pre-sleep calming exercise. Very, very nice skirt and I love it with the black tights/hose/leggings/whatever. I took a look at your other reviews--you do very nice work!

This is lovely! I have this but haven't sewn it up yet but bought it for this skirt. Great job and thanks for the inspiration to get this on my sewing list for spring.

I really like the lines of this skirt. You really brought that to my attention with your wonderful top stitching. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful new skirt and goes with everything.
