I was looking at this skirt in the pattern catalog yesterday. I never wear patchwork, but this one intrigued me because it looked like so much fun to sew. I agree about Kwik Sew's intelligent pattern design and instructions. You can sew a KS pattern like this with confidence that it will turn out like the pattern illustration-only better.

Ack! Julia, you beat me to this skirt! It's gorgeous and looks super on you! I plan on making one in a melange of prints and another perhaps in a solid. Well, the solid may come first since I don't have many prints in the stash....

Incredibly cute skirt! I'm envious of someone who can wear this sort of thing. I would have to lengthen it, and I'm not sure this pattern lends itself well to lengthening.

Julia, thank you for the great review. I got this pattern last week and I really want to make it up, but I'm 5'9". I'll be testing your theory that it's o.k. to add to the length at the bottom. Looking at your photo, I agree with your assessment. You look terrific in your new skirt. Way to go, girl!

What a nice combination of fabrics you picked. While not a wardrobe builder, it could make a great gift.

Patchwork is supposed to be "hot" this fall, so you are right in style! Very nice.

Julia, I love your skirt. Gathered waist are not that attractive on me. Do you think that you could make a flat waistband in the front with elastic in the back? Thanks for the good review.

Teri -- gathered waists aren't really that great on most people, are they? :-) I think the upper CF piece could be narrowed at the top to allow for a flat waistband in front, leaving the back elasticized; depending on your hip width, you might still have enough to pull over your hips or might have to add a zipper to side or CB since you'd be losing some waist width. The waistband on this one is only about as big around as my hips, so if I did that (and I like the idea) I'd have to add a zipper.

Gathered waistbands use to look good on me.....like when I was 13! Now they just make my tummy look like a shelf:) Thanks for the info.

Julia, this is beautiful. I love that pointy hem and your choice of fabrics. Boots are perfect with this skirt. I love the idea of a leftover bin, rather than having leftovers sort of crammed and hidden in various places. This could end up looking decorative rather than just messy.

How cute! And what a great way to use up those leftovers!

I wouldn't have even considered this pattern but after seeing it made up I like it. It has such a comfortable look and what a great way to use up those project leftovers.

What a fun longer skirt. Thank you for reviewing.
