The easy part of making the skirt was the pattern, one piece for the front and two for the back, all symmetrical. The tricky part was adjusting the waist. I had to combine different sizes to fit waist and hips, which is not uncommon, but wasn't sure about the ease. I wanted to leave enough space to be able to breath so I had to keep trying it on many times to find a decent fit. I forgot to transfer the new measurements from the skirt to the pattern, not a great idea. The flowery skirt is a bit wonky on the sides, as a result. For the cord skirt I managed to get some french curves, so both sides are even (also in the pattern).
What I really enjoyed was the darts, they are really easy and make the skirt look like a skirt!
I struggled with the zip, I had to repeat a couple of times to keep a neat finish but it got better on the second skirt, and hopefully the following one(s) will too.
