Zip guard piece instructions were a bit unclear

The instructions for the zip guard piece needed a re-read before I understood the orientation but I got there in the end and the finish was neat. Everything else about the pattern was very well explained. I would still make another version without hesitation.

Alyna O.
Extended the hem for a midi length version

I added 15cm to the hem length to get a midi skirt instead and the flared shape still worked beautifully at the longer length. The adjustment was simple and used the marked lengthen line. I will keep both versions in rotation.

Desdemona D.
Pattern handles circular cut really cleanly

As an intermediate sewer I have made a few circular skirts with mixed results and this pattern gave me the best outcome I have had. The instructions for stay-stitching the curves before sewing made a real difference. I cut a size 12 and the fit was accurate.

Alondra T.
Zip insertion was neat and well instructed

I have been sewing skirts for a couple of years and the side zip instructions here gave a cleaner finish than I usually manage. The technique for keeping the zip tape flat before stitching was new to me and worked really well. I cut a size 10 with no adjustments.

H
Hedy M.
Great first experience with bias-cut curves

Handling the curved hem for the first time was daunting but the instructions explained how to let the bias edge hang before hemming which prevented the wavy hem I had experienced before. I cut a size large and it fit well. A really helpful tip that improved my sewing generally.
