  1. Lisa

    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.

  2. Pamela

    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.

  3. Laura

    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.

  5. Stephanie

    Awesome Pattern I will be making several

    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

  7. Beatrice

    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.

    Gorgeous skirt, fits like a glove, figure enhancing

  9. Great basic skirt

  10. Rosa

    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.

How to choose your size

  1. Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  2. Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  3. It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
  4. If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.
