Tips:

I LOVE this pattern!! I have sewn it twice already and have plans to make it a third time for my sister in law. The paperless pattern is a HUGE win for me and I am going to be kitted out in Zamoras all summer!

The instructions were clear and great for a confident beginner. This was my first time learning to gather and doing pin tucks and it went quite well.

This skirt design is beautiful and I am very pleased with how it turned out! It was the first item I have sewed and the video was a huge help. Madeline was also very kind in answering some questions I had. Thank you!
