Sew Along for S9267
Love this skirt, I used a linen fabric and a cotton lawn for the facings.
Pattern Description: S9267, which is described as a skirt in three different lengths, I made view B. The skirt has a buttoned front and slash pockets.
Pattern Sizing: Pattern is sized from 6 to 14 and 16 to 24. I made a size 22.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes it looked like the picture on the envelope.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes they were very easy to follow.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? The instructions were pretty easy, this is a standard button front skirt. The possibilities are endless with a skirt like this. You can make it in so many different fabrics or go with an even longer length for a maxi skirt look.
Fabric Used: I used a Botton weight linen and I also used some left over Halloween tarot cards fabric for the waistband facings and pocket facings.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I took it in about 1 inch on the sides and then I tapered it so it doesn’t flare as much. I also elongated the pleats on the front and back. The pleats on the pattern are 2” long, mine are 6” long as I wanted the skirt to be a tad more fitted.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I will for sure sew this one again and I would recommend it to others. This is a relatively quick sew.
