You unintentionally managed to match the plaid?! Wow! I’m impressed. I have got to try not trying!! I always have to spend so much time matching…. Nice work!

Yes, completely unintentional. Since I was working without a pattern, and it’s the first time I work with plaids, I didn’t know if I’d have enough fabric, so I ended giving up on trying to figure how to match it.
My strategy was: cut three gores with the white line on the middle, cut the other three with the red line on the middle, alternate the gores when assembling the skirt (so red – white – red – white..). It ended matching so nearly perfectly.
I did aim to cut all the pieces at the same height, aligning it with a white line, and marking the red & white lines below so I could match at least the height.
