The shaping of this skirt is so lovely. Also, the fly zipper instructions are a bit different from other patterns I’ve used but the result is very RTW. I like the size of the pockets as well. In all, this is one of my favorite makes this year.

I used a non-stretch pink denim that was on deep discount. I’m new to sewing, so I look for bargains, so I won’t feel bad if a garment doesn’t turn out! The directions were great. I’m very happy with the finished product. Next spring I will make a light and dark blue denim version.

Loved the pattern. Making my second skirt now. I moved the slit to the back which is my preference. It is truly a slim fit but my normal size of 4 waist and 6 hip worked perfectly.

Classic styling and a true staple!

A classic every wardrobe needs. The fit is perfect and the detailed instructions result in a skirt no one would guess you made! Make this out of different fabric for different looks -corduroy, twill, or even a wool.

This is one of my all-time favourites and ‘Ive sewn a lot! An enjoyable sewing project, wearable/useful twill/chino or denim skirt, and the side slits and back pockets are really flattering

I did not love it. I found the pocket insertions very confusing. If I had not had the resource off the video from “Lifting Pins and Needles” and a bit of trial and error I would have wadded and moved on. I thought the fly front zipper installation instructions to be very easy to understand however.
I opted to close the side vents as they seemed to sort of stand open awkwardly in all the pics I saw. I didn’t like that look.
I also had trouble determining where the notches were supposed to be. I think that is because there were so many lines and dashes and so forth in such close proximity that it just made it hard to tell what was a line and what was a notch.
I doubt I will make this again as it but I might use the pockets pattern (now that I know how to install them) and just put them onto a “Tand T” straight skirt pattern already in my stash. I will also probably use the fly front technique in the future.

Great basic skirt

The pattern is easy to follow and well explained, it’s the first time I sew a Jean skirt. I’ve made two, one exactly following the instructions and another with a curved waistband, which I think fits me better.
I really enjoyed sewing them!

I was a little bit afraid first, because of the sway back I have. But the skirt became out beautiful. I love it.
