BjP said... Thanks for your very well-written and helpful 1st review!
Cute skirt and sounds like you learned a lot throughout your project. 3/13/05 9:39 AM
redhead said... Thanks for your review. I really appreciate getting a beginner's perspective on this, because I just recommended this pattern last week to a friend who has never sewn a garment but refuses to start with an elastic-waist skirt like the rest of us did. This pattern meets all of her style criteria, but it also sounds like we can do this. 3/13/05 9:56 AM
Patti B said... Very nice skirt -- love your details! I think that KS sizing runs a bit large (usually). Their directions are normally so good that I'm surprised that the zipper directions weren't clear. Your zipper looks perfect. 3/13/05 10:56 AM
Peggy L said... This looks great - love your details! You did a great job on your review, also. It's hard to believe this is one of your first projects. 3/13/05 11:20 AM
ChrisK said... Oh, that is a pretty skirt and looks very good on you. The zip application is very neat, and I love the trim you have used. I think the colour is nice and in the summer will look super when your legs are tanned. Its great to welcome another active UK member! 3/13/05 11:56 AM

Gigi Louis said... Very cute! Your skirt might stand out more due because of the trim but I think it's very pretty on you! I like the way you added one row of plain ribbon above the ruffles. That's so unexpected and really adds a lot to the design. 3/13/05 1:26 PM

PixieCat said... This skirt looks so nice on you. I don't think the trim is overkill at all. It looks very nice. 3/14/05 4:26 AM
SewingSusan said... One of my favorite skirt patterns. I LOVE your addition of the gathered organza ribbon. Great job. 3/14/05 6:49 AM
casken said... Beautiful job! Thank you for your great review. Also, thank you for posting your blogsite on your profile. I have been searching for a sewing blogger. If you would like, you can check out mine, www.dayhome.ca/blog/ I don't always write about my sewing though. When I do, I always include pictures.
Again, Thank you!!! 3/14/05 8:07 AM

dove29 said... Your skirt turned out really nice! I like this pattern. I made it once out of denim that I think was too heavy. I had trouble with the lapped zipper too - perhaps because of the heavy fabric. I ripped it out twice then gave up and did a centered zipper. I'm going to try it again in a different fabric, which might work better. 6/19/08 10:42 PM
