melgosews said... Whew! 1/4" SA would be difficult with that fabric. I think you ought to write a children's book on the adventures of sewing!!! They would be so tuned in! 2/28/06 1:51 PM
SouthernStitch said... Agree w/ the seam allowance - smart idea. Glad it worked out so nice, and it looks nice on you. Love reading your reviews! 2/28/06 1:56 PM
touran said... What a pretty skirt. It looks really slimming too. If you want to keep the frayed edges on the flounces, you can just stitch 1/4" from the edge and the fray won't go further than the stitching line. Fun review. 2/28/06 2:05 PM
Ann B. said... Wow, that skirt looks great on you. Not only is it a flatteringly slim fit, from your photo, it seems to be the perfect length.
You wrote a very helpful review. Thank you for the SA tip. 2/28/06 2:18 PM
pterion said... Great review! The skirt looks terrific on you! 2/28/06 3:13 PM
pbrenneraz said... I have this pattern (because I must buy all new patterns, I must, I tell you! :-) But have not made it because of the "dorkiness" you mention in your review. As usual, KS looks SOOO much better when made up. Thanks for this review, very helpful and entertaining. 2/28/06 5:24 PM

Gigi Louis said... What a wonderful skirt! Ugh, I hate those 1/4" seam allowances for wovens too. Thanks for an entertaining review as always. 3/1/06 5:20 PM
AnneM said... What a nice spring skirt! Great job. And I'm glad that you squished it into the amount of fabric that you had. 3/1/06 7:33 PM
carolynw said... The skirt looks lovely on you. Reading your review made me laugh - you do have such a good and amusing way of expressing things. If I go for this pattern will remember the 1/4" SA . An busy looking at recent reviews for skirts as I have been told that this is THE THING to have this coming Spring - hard for me - a dedicated jeans/slacks person but have to try to keep up with the times! 3/4/06 2:58 PM
