MISSES’ WRAP SKIRTS: Skirts A, B, C have waistband with self-ties and inside buttonholes; skirt A has front pleats creating a cascade; skirt B has optional trim; skirt C has self-faced pockets; length is 2" below mid-knee.



Pattern Sizing:

6-12 I made the size twelve

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes looks just like view c except mine is in a print fabric.

Were the instructions easy to follow?

Very easy to follow

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

The ease of a wrap skirt.

Fabric Used:

Poplin That I bought at hancock fabrics.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

None

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

I do plan to sew this again maybe in a linen next time.

Conclusion:

I made this skirt about a month ago and have found that it has become one of my faves in my closet. I would highly recommend this pattern. Great pattern for beginners . Give it a try yourself!

Thought since I have been sewing alot for myself lately that maybe I should make something for my sweet husband(.poor guy never gets anything made for him) He always needs new shirts and pants for work so today before I left work I picked up a couple of patterns.

  5. Cute skirt! Good luck with your swim suit.

    I'm also curious to see how the sewing for your husband goes. I always have good intentions to sew for my hubby, but I don't get around to it very often.

  7. What a beautiful skirt! I love the one that I make, really trying to find the perfect wrap skirt. Only problem with mine is that it is made of 1 pc of at least 58" fabric (cut on the bias). There are so many cute 44" fabrics that I'm trying to find a pattern that is this flattering that I can use this measuremnt. What is the fabric width size for this pattern? Erika
