-------------------------
I used my current favorite fabric from Michael Miller for this skirt. This is a great pattern to show off cute prints because it isn't a busy pattern with a lot of different pieces. This skirt is a great pattern for beginners. It took me less than an hour to sew the skirt up and make the bow. I would definitely recommend it to someone who is starting out with their sewing but wants something with a cute pop. The pattern includes clearly written directions and pictures to go with each step. This is always a plus. You do not need a serger for this pattern. There are no tricky techniques. There is an optional step to add a few rows of stitches to the bottom, which I added. I think that would be great practice for someone trying to work on sewing in a straight line. My daughter loved her skirt and it fit her perfectly. We went to the neighborhood park to get some pictures. She had NO problem playing around in her skirt.
