Burda Style For people who sew

Description

The A-Plus A-LIne skirt is the first project I’ve completed from the book “Twinkle Sews,” which has some really great projects in it. The pattern calls for wool, but who knew wool was so darn expensive!? I used this teal corduroy instead, hoping it could be my holiday skirt this year. (Nice enough for a party but not too fancy, you know?) Anyway, I used the size 12 pattern because the instructions said to use the size that matched your hips plus 2 centimetres ease. My hips are kinda wide, so the size 12 mostly fit though I’m a pretty small lady. When I tried it on, the skirt hem hit me mid-calf, so I looked Amish (or Orthodox, or what have you) so I cut a full four inches off the bottom hem. I’m pretty happy with the result. If you use patterns from Twinkle sews, make sure to measure yourself and adjust the pattern accordingly. Don’t go by what you THINK your size should be.
