Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, with modifications.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked everything about the pattern. I made it once before (my first skirt project) and I either cut the bottom band wrong or the pattern was drafted poorly (probably the former) because the band was waaaaay to big to even ease onto the skirt as the directions suggested.

Fabric Used:
A cotton print from Joann's apparel section, not quilting cotton. It is a bit heavier than quilting cotton.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made a size 12 because I made an 8 the first time and it was just a smidge to small (a little snug at my waist). I should have made a size 10 because I ended up taking in about 1" side seams, which is weird because the 8 should have fit the first time (hehe). I guess I didn't have the most consistent seam allowances then. I also omitted the bottom sash. I did not line the skirt and serged all seams. I catch-stitched the hem (my first time!).

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I would probably sew this again a few years down the lane if I needed another skirt like this.
