Finch Fold Skirt

Love These Patterns

This is my first time using pdf patterns. I bought the Finch Fold Skirt, the Fantail Tank and the Sidewinder Pants. It took me a bit of time and a lot of paper to get my printer settings just right, but very happy with the results and will do it again. It was fun putting the pattern pieces together. I printed and assembled all three patterns but have only sewn the Fantail Tank so far. I loved the burrito method of doing the armhole facings. All the pieces fit together beautifully and it was easy to sew. I use this pattern again and am looking forward to sewing the pants and skirt.

Quick and easy!

Really enjoyed how quickly the skirt went together. I made a small error on the waistband and attached the wrong side to the skirt. However, I was able to rectify this by using some bias tape to bind the raw edge on the inside which actually looks pretty professional! I made this in an afternoon (and I’m not a fast sewer!). I made mine in a canvass material but will make again in a lighter linen which will give a different look. Give it a try!

A really cute and versatile skirt

I enjoyed making this pattern. The front wrap reminds me of Thai fisherman's pants and it’s really comfy to wear. I cut a 16 but found it a little big so ended up sewing a 12. My first was in a heavy black linen, and the second in a wallpaper-type floral. For my shape, I did find that the addition of small back darts helped the skirt fit better on me.
