Simplicity 1664 is a quick and easy pattern. There were no issues involved with the construction of this skirt...and it literally took 2 hours to cut out and sew together (that includes hand sewing the hem and yoke facing, lol). The pattern is basically two rectangles gathered onto a yoke. I made a size 12 and used an invisible zipper. I made the hem 1.25" wide. This would be a great skirt for a beginner to practice gathering. (Gathers are my old enemy...haha)

Now I am looking forward to making the jacket and pants that I originally bought the pattern for. ;)

(Check out this version on my blog)
