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! :)

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!). 

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

I love this pattern SO MUCH!
All I had to do was choose my shape and size (pear, size 12) cut and sew!
The pattern fit me straight out of the envelope (OK straight off the A0 print) and the wonderfully presented clear instructions and illustrations made putting it together an absolute breeze.
I've become a very daring sewist since using Cashmerette patterns, in that I tend to chance sewing it up straight away in decent fabric instead of doing a toile first.
Risky, I know, but it’s worked for me so far...
Thanks Team Cashmerette! You rule!

Lovely pattern, easy to follow instructions. As always cashmerette’s patterns never disappoint me.
I didn’t cut the right size for the first one but my friend was really happy to get it because it didn’t fit me
I am currently making a new one because it is the perfect outfit for autumn.

I’m so happy with my lovely new denim skirt, it turned out just how I pictured it in my head. Don’t you love it when that happens?! This was my second time sewing a Cashmerette pattern and I’ve bought a few more on the basis of how well drafted the first two were, how well they come together and such great instructions. Now I’m just crossing my fingers that the next pattern Cashmerette releases is a nicely shaped denim jeans jacket, complete with their perfect cup sizes!

Great pattern for a versatile skirt. The fit was easy to adjust for my body and I love all the jeans details (rivets, topstitching, belt loops, coin pocket,…). I can cycle in this skirt easily without feeling constricted.
I’ll move the walking slit to the back of the skirt for my next version to minimize flashing my anti-chub rub shorts when sitting down.

I’m a larger lady - size 28uk - and it’s really hard to find designs to fit my shape and size (I’m fuller round my hips and tum) but this skirt fits beautifully and the pattern instructions were easy to follow I’m a confident beginner doing clothing xx

Instructions were great, much better than other patterns I’ve tried!
I think Step 9 is wrong, I would think the front pocket (4) would be sewn to the right side of pocket lining (5) so when you open the pocket the right side of the fabric is visible.
Other than that I have no complaints!
My garment is not completely finished so I’m not sure how accurate sizing is but here’s to hoping.

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.

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!

Well-written pattern and clear illustrations/instructions. I made the mini version of the skirt, which on me is not super short as I am 5"4'. I made a straight size 16, but straight is a funny word in this instance because the skirt is well-suited to a curvy body. I am very happy with my fabric for this pattern - it's a stretch cotton twill. I don't know how to best deal with the fact that my tummy sticks out (in the way mothers' tummies often do), but I think there are adjustments I can easily learn to make to this pattern. I already have a really nice denim picked out for my next Ellis.

This very modern skirt pattern reminds me of an absolute favourite denim skirt I had back in my much slimmer days in the 80's. I yearned for another one but because of my 60" hip size and sway back there was no chance, that is until Cashmerette came up with the Ellis skirt. I have to say that it didn't fit "straight out of the packet", but neither did I expect it to and that is no fault of Cashmerette, but due to my uniqueness! I had already successfully made the Ames jeans after spending time making alterations and was so pleased with the fit that I purchased this pattern which needed similar alterations to the pattern on the hip and waist but was a doodle this time and the fit is perfect. I shall be making lots more in varying fabrics and colours to add to my ever growing me made wardrobe (all Cashmerette by the way) as it is so comfortable to wear. Well done Cashmerette for another winner!!

Honestly I knew for a while that a jeans skirt (or a more structured skirt) was something that was missing from my wardrobe, but I hemmed and hawed at trying to find a pattern. Especially since finding one in my size was an issue, and big four patterns, have been for me, very hit or miss. I have made view A and I love, Love, LOVE IT! Can't wait to make view B, the only thing stopping me, is time constraints!

I have made two of these skirts. I was extremely apprehensive as I had never made anything with a fly front before but i followed the sew along for the cashmerette jeans and it turned out beautifully, The skirt fits like a glove and the only alteration that I made was to the length. I would definitely recommend this pattern

Well I was a tester for this skirt. I am 66 years old and have a belief that pencil skirts do not look good on me. That was my starting point for this project. I thought I had some denim in my stash when I agreed to test this skirt. It’s been a while since I made it so my memory is a bit rusty. I sewed up the 18 pear pelvis as my waist was about 38-39” and my hip about 47”.

The pattern went together very well as per usual. I did used the longer length but did end up shortening the pattern by about 4”.
I thought about it for quite a while and I did widen the bottom of the pattern pieces by 1” each in the front and back piece on the side seam only. I just wanted to take out the pegged shape a bit. I figured I could sew that out if I changed my mind while sewing.

So when I found out I had used up the denim I searched around my stash to see what I had and settled on a piece of stretch poplin in a denim weight.

I am very happy with how this came together and will be making another one for this summer in a denim. I did not do all the extras like back pockets only because the busy pattern on this fabric would mean the details would be wasted and lost in the print.

So I have learned not to believe everything I think. I now think I can wear a slim skirt and look pretty great. Lol.
