I've made this skirt twice, both with very good results. The first time I made this skirt was when I was barely two months into my sewing career. The skirt came together very quickly and easily.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes. I made two versions of View B. The first time, I used a contrasting fabric for the lower flounce, and the second version I added some contrasting piping between the skirt body and the flounce.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy to follow. As I wrote above, I successfully made this skirt with only two months of sewing experience.

Fabric Used:
The first version was made with acrylic and the second version out of some "wool" I bought at a thrift store which is most likely, in actuality, also acrylic.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, absolutely! This pattern is so easy to make, but also has a lot of possibility for adding design details to spice it up.

More details and photos of my finished projects may be seen on my blog here and here.

Very cute! I love the piping detail that you added. Nice fitting skirt, the length looks perfect.
