Pattern Description:
childs and girls skirts
Pattern Sizing:
3=6
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
sort off more like the line drawing than the pictureback
Were the instructions easy to follow?
I thought so, I did read them but did not follow them as i changed the order of constuction
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
loved the pleats, and the little girl who wants a skirt for xmas asked for pleats
Fabric Used:demin form my stash

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I used a size 3 in the waist and lenghted it to a size 6 as others have noted it seams a bit too short in lenght

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
yes I would make it again if asked to,
Conclusion: cute skirt with lots of options

Buy this pattern for $8.96  List Price: $11.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag
