Janice Biondo
Shaerie does an excellent job explaining how to sew this skirt with clear, easy-to-follow steps. Even complete beginners can follow along without trouble. However, the PDF instructions that come with the pattern are cut off, making them unreadable. I recommend providing the written instructions as a separate file, not attached to the pattern itself. Also, assembling the printed pattern was a bit tricky—it would help if the pages were numbered or had a guide to show how to tape them together correctly. For that, I give this 4 stars.
