Pattern Description: Pamela’s Patterns-Magic Pencil Skirt
Magic Pencil Skirt

Pattern Sizing: Small

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? Super easy instructions to follow. The instructions include fitting suggestions, how to attach elastic, etc. Excellent pattern for any beginner to try.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the ease of making this skirt. There is not much to dislike at all. Once you have perfected the fit you could sew up several in one setting. I have made three skirts thus far; the new one I added a lining.

Fabric Used:The fabric I used for this one is a printed light weight double knit from Vogue Fabrics.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: The only change I made this time was to add a lining. I attached the lining at the waistline by serging the edges together. I then attached the elastic at the waist. I also do not totally stitch around the bottom edge of the elastic, preferring to attach by stitching in the ditch of the darts and side seams. This way when I wear it there is no tell tell elastic waist should I have my top tucked in. I don’t wear belts much so prefer this method.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I have sewn this skirt three times now and I am sure I will make additional ones in the future. I highly recommend this pattern whether you are a beginner or advanced sewist.

Conclusion Easy to make skirt pattern. Suitable for skirt wearers of any size.
