Customer Reviews
I really, really like this pattern-- it's simple enough for a beginner like me with major pay-off! I will say though-- use less elastic than called for. My waist is 41.5" and I overlapped it by an inch and a half. It was so loose it was around my hips and about to fall off. It MIGHT have been my elastic, which was a "soft" elastic, but I wound up taking a few inches off. I'd recommend subtracting 2" off your waist measurement, insert the elastic without cutting it, overlap 1" and pin and try it on before you cut and sew your elastic. I'd like to see a hack of this on a blog post about how to make this without elastic, because I think that structure would be a little nicer. I will also play around with a much thicker and wider elastic. I have several more versions of this skirt planned-- it's a winner for sure!
This was such a cute and fast sew! I cut into some precious woven Indian ikat fabric for it and could not be happier with the result. I made it for Pride and got so many compliments on it asking where I got it. I told them all I made it, and many people wanted one!
I plan on making this in some other lovely fabrics I have laying around that I think suit the pattern.
This was my first time sewing a pattern by matchy matchy sewing club and i found the instructions really easy to follow. I made my skirt using viscose i already had in my stash and its lovely for summer, i think linen or cotton would be best though to show off the bows. The only adjustment i made was to smooth out the gathered fabric on the front waistband and secure in place so all the gathers were around the back and sides but thats just personal preference on how i wanted ut to look.
I immediately loved the look of this skirt bottom and I thought it would be so cute hacked into a dress.
I used a Cami pattern that I already owned and made it the breeziest summer dress from a $3 thrifted bed sheet. I LOVE Matchy Matchy Sewing Club patterns! Always clear and easy to follow.
Honestly, I didn't think this pattern would be my cup of tea. But then I told myslelf: It's free, what can I lose, let's do this! I chose the Ray Chestnut cotton stripes from Atelier Brunette and guess what? I love it! I only rated 4/5 because I miss pockets in the default version. Otherwise it is beautiful, easy-to-sew project that everybody should try for this summer. Thank you, Matchy Matchy Sewing Club <3
