Pattern Description:
A-line skirt with scalloped hem and a side invisible zipper. The upper edge and scalloped hem have facings.

Pattern Sizing:
0 - 18, I made size 2

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

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy to follow. Very thorough step-by-step instructions with very good illustrations.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It is a very easy and quick skirt. I had no problems at all with the scalloped edge.

Fabric Used:
Linen blend by Valori Wells

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I didn't stitch the hem facing to the skirt, but used fusible hem tape instead. Worked very good.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will sew the skirt again in a solid color.

Conclusion:
Very easy and quick pattern with very good instructions and easy fitting.
