This is a quick and easy skirt pattern with three cute style embellishing options. Except for cutting out the fabric the skirt only took about an hour and a half to sew. I pretty much followed the pattern for view B. The pattern suggested folding the ric-rac trim at the hem in half for a scalloped edge. I didn't really like the look when I tried it so I just left it flat so only one edge of the trim points extend beyond the hem. The waistband on the pattern called for twill tape facing. I wanted to use what I had on hand so I used a strip of the skirt fabric for the straight facing. The fabric I used was a woven fabric with a lot of stretch in the crosswise grain. But interestingly it had no stretch in the lengthwise grain. So I was able to use the side with no stretch in the waistband and keep the stretch in the skirt where I could use a bit of give. I like this skirt and I may make view A with the circle pocket if I can find some fabric in my stash to use.
