What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

It is a great layering piece for big girls and passed the ODD tween test! It went together easily. I've done invisible zippers once or twice before, but this is the best one I've ever done. It turned out perfect!

Fabric used

turquoise stretch denim

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

The pattern calls for velveteen, but I used denim. I also changed very slightly the construction order of the skirt. The pattern calls for you to construct the front and back pieces separately and then sew the side seams, making sure to match the seams at the waistband. I sewed the side seams before adding the skirt to make it easier to make sure the seams lined up. I also skipped the lining.

Would you sew this pattern again?

Yes

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Yes
