Pattern Description:
Pencil skirts with different details. I made the skirt with two side panels.
Pattern Sizing:
14-20
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Sort of?
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It went together very easily.
Fabric Used:
A polyester fabric I had been saving for over 10 years to figure out what to do with. My grandma made me a skirt out of it years ago, and it was easily my favorite skirt I've ever had, in part because of the fabric.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None, I made it as-is.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
No! It turned out 3" bigger than it should have, given the measurements.
Conclusion:
Do a trial run if you aren't sure of the sizing. I wish I had.
