Pattern Sizing:
Size 6-14
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 much so. Since it is such an easy skirt, I just glanced at it. I think that this is a great pattern for beginners.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
For a knit skirt with elastic waist, this is a lovely skirt. I wasn't sure it was going to be, because I've made elastic waisted skirts before that were not as flattering.
Fabric Used:
Off-white textured knit - polyester, I believe. I got this off the remnant bin; I wanted to make a wearable muslin.
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
I cut a size 14, because the finished measurement of the skirt would have fit me. However, when I finished making the skirt I decided to take the skirt in a couple of inches.
I also took off 5 inches off the skirt. I am 5'1" and this skirt was really much too long for me. Next time, I will shorten the pattern in the middle rather than at the bottom, so that I can have more of a trumpet effect.
I got a little lazy so I decided to use my serger to create a rolled hem instead of the suggested turning and hemming.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will be making another one of these skirts, shortening the skirt in the middle.
Yes, this pattern is easy and it took me less than an hour
Conclusion:
Great pattern. I can't wait to try this skirt again.

Very cute!
I love this skirt. I posted a comment on PR that your photo link isn't working (enlarging the picture). Great job!
So...if YOU are a 14...then I'd be like a size 200, right? I don't think they make the pattern in my size ;o) Super cute, though! (Have you run out of hangers in your closet yet? You've been BUSY these last few weeks! Brava!)
I nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger award. I absolutely love what you do and am very grateful that you blog about it. The rules, and what I wrote about your blog can be seen on my blog.
Why does Myrnie ALWAYS take the words out of my mouth! 1. Where do you KEEP your fabulous new wardrobe? and 2. a size 14? Really?!
