Pattern Description:

Misses' pants in two lengths with cuff variations, shorts and skirt in two lengths. Simplicity sewing pattern. Designs by Karen Z.

Pattern Sizing:

8-16. I cut a size 12

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?

Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I like the design features like the front ties and the pockets.

Fabric Used:

Some sort of poly woven from Walmart for $1.50

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

These have a HUGE amount of ease!!! I believe it's 7 1/2" in the hips. YIKES.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

I definitely want to make these again in a nice twill or poplin. I really want to make the pants too. It's really easy and I think they're pretty cute

Conclusion:

They run very large but are really straightforward and easy to sew.
