Yesterday I finished a very simple skirt using S1101 Elastic Waist A-Line Skirt from Fashion Patterns by Coni. It's made in a blue rayon from JoAnn Fabrics. The skirt construction was extremely simply, my only difficulty was putting in the casing for the elastic. The pattern is made to fit the larger figure and the front is curved slightly making the casing tend to ripple. The resulting fit was well worth the extra effort of placing the casing. The only change I made to this pattern was to use a narrow rolled hem instead of the marked hem. Narrow rolled hems are my favorite way to finish rayon skirts. All in all this skirt took me less than 1 1/2 hours to finish from opening the pattern envelope to taking it's picture!
