How to choose your size
- 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.
- 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.
- It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
- 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.

Excellent instructions, loved the construction of the fly. I would say I’m a confident beginner sewist and this was a great pattern for me. I made a size 14 based on my measurements and it fit nicely. I was able to get the skirt out one yard of fabric, but had to make the inner waistband out of another fabric in my stash. Thank you for such a cute skirt pattern!

It is a nice pattern.

First off, overall I love your patterns. My only complaint/suggestion would be the ability to use for projector sewing. I’m enjoying the ability to cut the pattern directly to fabric without printing. My problem is trying to make personal adjustments (ie: shorten length and grade between sizes). While I understand and respect your need to maintain the integrity of your labors I need to create workarounds to make the process work for me. Thanks for creating such wonderful designs and i look forward to your next pattern.

Perfect pattern, perfect instructions, perfect fit. No more words needed, it is just a Itch-to-Stitch pattern ❤️❤️❤️
