Hem line needed more guidance on the slit

The instructions for finishing the hem around the slit opening could be more detailed because I had to unpick and redo mine twice before getting a neat result. Once I understood the technique the finish looked great and the overall pattern is well designed. I would still recommend it to others.

S
Svea H.
Added a lining for a more polished finish

The pattern does not include a lining but I drafted a simple slip lining from the main pieces and attached it at the waistband. The modification added only about an hour and the result is much more versatile for work occasions. The base pattern made lining very easy to add.

Inga R.
Well-graded pattern with consistent seam allowances

I cut a size 8 and checked the seam allowances throughout before sewing and they were consistent to the millimetre. The grading between sizes is smooth so I was able to cut a size 8 waist and size 10 hips without any issues. The finished skirt required no adjustments.

K
Konstanze L.
Zip insertion technique is clean and precise

I have been sewing skirts for several years and the instructions for the invisible zip on this pattern are among the clearest I have encountered. The finish is consistently neat and I can replicate it every time. I cut a size 10 which fit well.

M
Mariana T.
Second garment and already looking professional

After making a simple tote bag I tried this skirt as my second project. The instructions were detailed enough that I finished it without any disasters. My friends asked where I bought it and were surprised when I said I made it.
