Redondo Pattern Description
Spiral Flounce Skirt Which view and size did you make?
122/128 without frills Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
- Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
- What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like that this pattern ends up so flouncy! What little girl doesn't love to twirl? The pattern is a bit tedious when you are sewing, and you need to use extra care when sewing those curves. I don't like that all of the crazy curves make your hem edge a little thready. You can solve that problem by using bias tape or by going around with a rolled hem several times. Fabric used
Owl print quilting cotton Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
I don't use the provided waistband. Instead, I extend the top by two inches straight up. That gives me room to use 3/4-inch elastic in a casing. Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
This pattern does run pretty slim. If you have a child that is bigger than the size given, you can easily add a 6th panel. I have done that several times. It gives more width, and it keeps the same look. Did you SNS what you made from this pattern? If so, add a link to your SNS here.
