PATTERN REVIEW - NEW LOOK









New Look 6843

Pattern Description:  A-Line Skirt

Pattern Sizing: Size A (8-18)

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions are clear and easy to follow.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the pattern. It's simple and quick.  I am a curvy girl and still had to take in one (1) inch on each side. This tiny adjustment was fine. I also made a muslin first.

Fabric Used: I used a cotton eyelet and attached a batiste underlining in a complementing color.  I didn't use the waistband from the pattern, but used double wide bias tape as the waistband instead.  It's less bulky. I hand finishing the hem and attached underlining to the zipper.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?  I already have it cut out to sew another skirt.  Basic pattern that I will use over and over again!

Conclusion: LOVE! This is a quick and easy pattern that I will use over and over.
