The pattern and instructions are great. I had never used an invisible zipper in a skirt before, but I certainly will again! I mostly followed the instructions - the only things I changed were the width of the yoke (mine is a bit narrower) and I topstitched (rather than edgestitched) around the yoke because I kind of like the look (although it would look more profesh to do it as per the pattern). It fits me really well and is comfortable - I see many more a-line skirts in my sewing future!
More creativity here, as always - pop over for a squizz or join in too. I hope your week is a good one!

Your skirt looks fantastic - good on you for getting onto the pattern straight away!
Terrific looking skirt. I have a pattern for one on my pile of things to do too... you've inspired me!
What a fantastic skirt, the fabric is perfect! :)
I'm wearing mine even as I type. You're absolutely right on the comfy fit thing. (love those Ikea fabrics for skirts - no need to line!)...(unless you're less ad hoc than moi, of course)
It looks great. I really have to put down the knitting and start on my spring/summer wardrobe.
I reckon I'll be making a few Ikea fabric versions of the skirt, too. Yours looks FAB!
Glad you had a good time with the making, and that the zip trick has inspired you to continue to zipper!!!
That fabric is fabulous and you did a great job on the skirt....might have to check that pattern out : )
Looks fab Nic! Unfortunately mine is still sitting in the packet on the kitchen bench.
Your skirt looks fantastic! Love the fabric.
Your skirt looks great.. and I love that Ikea fabric! I so need to make myself some skirts desperately... mmmmm I'm feeling inspired :)
That's purty! Go you! I've had that book for a while now & not made a thing! Soon? Soon!
Looks great, the fabric suits it well.
Looks great Nic! I love A-line skirts and this one looks like it would fit beautifully. (Rushes off to check it out…) x Alisa
Great fabric - love this skirt!
This is a great match between fabric and pattern. I love the crisp black and white design of the fabric and the clean lines of the skirt too.
LOVe it Nic!!! and love the striking pattern too.

Gorgeous! I ordered that pattern yesterday, so it's nice to see how others have made it up. Like the use of the Ikea fabric too - cost effective and very striking.
Beautiful! I love a bit of Ikea fashion.
