Pattern Description: Semi-fitted, above mid-knee skirts A, B, C, D, E have contour waist and back. A: front overlay, outside stitched darts. B, C: front yokes (contrast B). D: contrast sides. D, E: princess seams. B, C, D, E: topstitching.

Hip stitching detail

Pattern Sizing: AA(6-8-10-12), EE(14-16-18-20)

Practicing my topstitching double time!

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Skirt front

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the curves of the skirt, very slimming and offer a great opportunity for stitching detail.

Fabric Used: An animal print stretch sateen I got at a 3 for 1 sale at Fabricville (paid $12 for 3 yards!)

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None, I followed the instructions as written.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes. This was too small for me, but once I drop some pounds, this skirt turned out gorgeous, and it fits my daughter-in-law beautifully!

Conclusion: A great pattern with several design options making it a great wardrobe builder.

Buy this pattern for $13.46  List Price: $17.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag

Thanks. I rarely shop there unless there is a 3 for 1 sale. LOL!

Really cute - I have had that pattern for a while but have not sewn it. You've given me new inspiration!
