Ellis ftw

I love the Ellis skirt - for a stretch denim it's perfect! The fit is great (I made the pear-shaped version) and the instructions are great. I even made a second skirt in a woven stretch fabric. Great pattern! :)

Ellis Skirt

Lovely pattern with a good fit. However found I struggled a bit with getting a neat finish on the zip, next time will try to complete the zip finish similar to my jeans patterns. Otherwise, great pattern.

Great pattern with thoughtful details

What a great pattern! I really appreciated the careful drafting of this pattern and design details including the darts below the yoke to get a really good fit. I made the shorter view and will definitely revisit the other view one day (soon!).

My New Favorite Denim Skirt

This pattern has become my new favorite denim skirt. The instructions were wonderful and the fit perfect. I did have to alter the yoke and waistband, but they lay perfectly flat against my back. I can see several more of this skirt in my future. More pictures here https://josephinesews.blogspot.com/2020/10/skirt-nirvana-cashmerette-ellis-skirt.html

Great base pattern

I prefer a longer skirt (32”) and one that is wider so I used this pattern as a base. It was very easy to use the slash and spread method to add width and the skirt turned out terrific. I love it!
