Pattern Description:
Skirts with length variations, pockets and button details.

Pattern Sizing:
I made size 14.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, don't remember any hassles with putting it together.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Love the pockets! Normally I am a bit sniffy about pockets, thinking even if they are there you should never use them because they "spoil the line", and I often leave them out because I'm too impatient and want to get the thing finished, but I LOVE these pockets and use 'em all the time- they go with the casual vibe of the skirt. I think the pattern's narrow lapped zipper method doesn't really work on denim (it causes bulk), but I think it should work ok on a finer fabric.

Fabric Used:
Soft lightish-coloured denim. The topstitching is a camel colour and the buttons are pale wood.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Nope.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I've worn this a lot this summer and really like the below-waist A-line shape and the details (bottom band, topstitching, pockets, buttons).

Conclusion:
Highly recommend!
