I still can hardly believe it, but actually it was quite easy with Anna's explanations and hints and photos:
As the fabric is thick flannel, it was a bit harder to gather the skirt and so my gathers are rather less then perfect but I don't mind.
I'm quite proud of the hidden zipper:
(not so proud of forgeting to match the pieces of the skirt back. I had a narrower piece of fabric and had to place the pattern pieces in a different way than indicated in the pattern, so I should have checked it)
Anyway, it enjoyed sewing the skirt and I've learned a lot and I want more.
What a great job! You make me feel guilty. I have two patterns and two lots of fabric, but never seem to get around to it!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a cute skirt. I thought playing along too but couldn't get my hands on the pattern fast enough. There isn't a store locally that carries patterns. I will eventually give it a try. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful skirt! It is a nice pattern with pockets, you should make some more.
