I started and finished this pattern last weekend. It's not technically on the projects list, but I'm counting this as one of the skirts I needed for work.
The project has easy to follow instructions, simple pattern pieces to cut out and the size chart is accurate. You picked between the 5 different top styles then the skirt is the same for all of them. I went with D, the cowl neckline with straps.
I used a fabric I found at the local thrift store, it's a polyester fabric with a little bit of stretch with a black plaid pattern. The fabric cost around $2 and the pattern cost about $3 (think this was on sale at Joann Fabrics when I picked it up) so I'm really happy about the cost :)
The pattern does call for a zipper to be sewn into the back of it, which I'm still learning how to do and I'm really proud of how well it turned out. The zipper is from my stash of zippers I picked up at my local thrift store prices 25 cents to 68 cents. The dress style I went with also called for an eye & hook which I didn't have in my stash of sewing supplies (used the last one repairing bras, blah) but I was able to find them for 50% off at Hobby Lobby. Woo!
I will defiantly do this pattern again, in fact I have a really pretty brown fabric with pink polka dots just waiting to be made into this dress. I will most likely use pattern D again. When it's paired with a cardigan I can easily wear it to work.
I really have no complaints about the pattern, I love the dress I made and am looking forward to making or finding accessories for it. I'm thinking red for some reason and I do have some red fabric and lots of the plaid fabric left over. Maybe I can make a red purse with plaid lining or a reversible belt.
Any ideas? I'd love to hear them!
