  8. Alison (verified owner)

    Very cute and easy. My only trouble was being in between size groups, so I had to cut smaller than the 18 and 14 wouldn’t have fit. Threw in some pockets too.

    Such an easy and enjoyable skirt to make. I’m taking sewing lessons, so I’m quite the beginner and loved making this. I’ve bought 3 different fabrics to make variations of it. I also easily added pockets. I’ll definitely be trying some of her other patterns.

  16. Sara W. (verified owner)

    The only question I had was how to enclose the zipper when stitching on the facing. I think I figured it out in my own way. Thank you for a great free pattern!

  17. Sherry Sparks (verified owner)

    The pattern was really easy to piece together and worked great. I made mine a bit longer than the pattern by just extending the bottom.

    Amazing and super easy for a beginner sewer! I used it as a base for a cosplay skirt. Fantastic pattern, thank you.

  31. Karen Nield (verified owner)

    This is a lovely, very easy pattern. I’ve used it twice, once for a friend, which I lengthened and I used as a teaching pattern for a 12 year old girl to sew, she did amazingly well . We swapped the invisible zip for an ordinary zip as this was the first garment she’d ever made. If you’re looking for a simple A line skirt this is perfect, easy to follow instructions.

    This turned out so great! I think I got the sizing slightly wrong, but as the instructions tell you: if you go one size up it’s very easy to adjust the skirt to your actual size. I especially loved learning how to put in an invisible zipper 🙂

    Pretty good for a free pattern! I did notice that the back is smaller than the front and when you add a zipper seam it is noticeably smaller so I added 1 cm to both back pieces. I also wanted it knee length and so adjusted length easily. Easy to follow instructions. Will make a few

    This was one of my very first patterns sewing a piece of clothing. This skirt is just gorgeous and so flattering once on. I made it with some beautiful wool fabric and it’s perfect for our Melbourne Winters. If you’re a beginner and want to your confidence making your own clothes, this is a fantastic pattern to start with. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.

    Great little skirt to make. I used some left over cotton poplin material from a dress I had made. Very clear instructions especially for inserting the concealed zip. Also loved using bias binding on the edge of the facing.

    Hi! This is the first thing I’ve made for myself. I was given a sewing machine for my birthday in March and started with sewing face masks and another essential item that we call pandemic lounge pants (pajama bottoms in the time of COVID)! I have never done any of the following: inserted a zipper, used bias tape, used interfacing, created waist facings, inserted darts. So first of all thank you for the sewing lesson! Second, yes there are a few mistakes/learning opportunities but hopefully not apparent to anyone but me. The skirt actually fits and looks well-constructed. I am relatively tall and lean and opted for size 12 mainly because I don’t like skirts at my waist (I’m a size 6 or 8 usually here in the US). I tend to wear a little lower at my hips but not truly low rise. I did end up having to take it in at the side seams as it was too big below where I wanted it to sit below waist. So I’m probably size 10 or even 8 below the waist of the skirt which needs to be a size 12 to sit closer to my hips. Either way, it was really fun. I did have to consult a few other tutorials as I didn’t fully understand directions. So for those of you who are dead beginners, I recommend supplementing instructions with ProfessorPincushion.com videos on youtube especially for inserting zipper and bias tape.

  112. Shelly (verified owner)

    Thank you so much! I think this is one of only about two things I’ve sewed that I felt happy with and and feel like I will wear again. Instructions were awesome and the pictures very helpful (I was a little confused with the facing around the zipper part but it still turned out O.K.). Really appreciate you sharing this pattern. Thanks.

    • Annie (store manager)

      Hi Shelly, Thanks for your review. I’m happy it turned out for you. Annie

  113. Janice

    I’ve never made anything with darts or a waistband before as I only just started sewing. Never made clothes. Only a couple of bags with zips. I took ages to make this because I was trying to work everything out but my skirt turned out awesome. I originally made the size 12 but it was too big so I took it in and ended up with size 8 instead. So I’m making another one today and I want to make it longer as well so I can sit down comfortably as I’m quite tall. I need to learn how to measure myself properly so I make the right size. Thanks for the pattern. I think I will make a dozen of them. I love it. I think I’m addicted to sewing now.

    • Annie (store manager)

      Hi Janice, Thanks for your review. I have a Youtube lesson on measuring yourself it you want to check it out. One of the most important lessons to learn with sewing is how to measure yourself correctly before cutting your pattern.
      Thanks! Annie
