Pattern Description:
elastic waist, A-line skirt cut on the bias
Pattern Sizing:
Misses' 6-10, but I bought this pattern when I was smaller. Bad fabric choice for my first attempt. I made the shorter knee-length version.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes!
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes!
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Easy to make and I wanted a simple pattern that would show off the flowers on the fabric
Fabric Used:
I found this cotton fabric at Bolt Fabric for 50% off.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I had to add some inches on the sides so it would fit my current size.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes! Yes!
Conclusion:
I love my skirt and its beautiful flowers!
