Pattern Description:
"The flared skirt has hand-sewn details along the centre front seam and the hem as well as patch pockets"
An A-line Skirt with a CF seam, patch pockets and invisible side zipper.
Pattern Sizing:
36-44. I cut a 40.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Very much so. I even used the same colour as the one in the magazine.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, it’s a pretty straight-forward pattern.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It was pretty easy to use and simple to sew. During Me-Made-June 2011 I learnt a lot about my wardrobe and this skirt was derived from those lessons. I wanted separates, in simple shapes and neutral colours. So, what I like about this pattern was that it was quite easy to match, but still interesting.
Fabric Used:
Sand-washed cotton.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
It’s a basic A-line skirt and a good pattern, I like the waistband and flared skirt, very much A-line in shape. If I want more A-line skirts I can definitely see myself making it again. I could recommend this to a beginner sewist who likes the style. Waistband from back
Conclusion:
A good pattern for getting the shape of an A-line skirt. I can see some potential in variation and alterations as well in this pattern. Easy for beginners since the pockets are top-stitched. Top-stitched pockets

As I wrote, this skirt was based on the lessons I learnt during Me-Made-June 11, to read more about the skirt and those lessons, please see my blog

Your skirt looks great! The fabric you chose is perfect, you can coordinate it with lots of other colours. A great combination of pattern and fabric.
