Pattern Description: A-line skirt in 3 lengths with pockets.
Pattern Sizing: I size as a 16 and made a 16. The fit is perfect.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Actually very much so since our fabric choice is similar.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I disliked how the pockets don't want to sit flat. It's not too bad but it seems a little wierd. I made the skirt again and changed the way I did the pockets and I liked my way much better. You can see it here
Fabric Used: The most beautiful fabric made by Bird Textiles. Unfortunately this company closed down and in their sales I was able to buy the fabric half price which was still $30 per metre so it really wasn't cheap. I had been watching it for so long and just had to have it.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made the middle length skirt but I didn't add the big band along the bottom as the skirt fabric is just too beautiful.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would and did.
Conclusion: This skirt was all about showing off the fabric which I think I have been able to do. I had also bought matching buttons which I used along the pockets. You can't see it so much in the picture but they really add to the skirt and I like that I was able to use them.
Great fabric.
