After searching for the perfect pencil skirt pattern, I broke down and bought the Kate Spade Judy skirt. It was a perfect fit for me. Determined to duplicate this skirt, I bought Kenneth King's Clone Your Favorite Garment class here on the Pattern Review website.

The original skirt is a heavy textured wool with silk ribbons woven into the fabric. I chose a very similar fabric just not as heavy.
My new "Katie Spade" is identical in fit as the Kate Spade.

"Does it look like the pattern illustration? " YES!

"Pattern Sizing" any size you want!

"Were the instructions easy to follow?" The instructions for cloning the pattern were exceptionally easy and clear. In a series of 10 brief lessons Kenneth demonstrates how to create a pattern from a RTW jacket by marking the seamlines and grainlines with thread on the garment and tracing the markings to silk organza. With the help of carbon paper, the markings on the organza are transferred to paper. After making the pattern I was on my own to put it together. Glad I chose something easy like a skirt!

" Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? " Yes and yes. The class is a must have in my opinion.

"Conclusion"........... We all have a favorite garment and I can't wait to duplicate another piece from my closet!

I love you skirt. Absolutely perfect. Thanks for the run down on cloning. I think I know where the darts are in the front of the skirt. Most likely they were rotated into the space between the waistband and the top of the skirt. I am going to try it. I've done on the back of a skirt, but not the front. I think your skirt is amazing. Thanks for the inspiration!
