Simplicity 7229 Skirt C and a Half

I felt like sewing something quick and easy that I could also practice pattern fitting using my new dress form. So I picked this "1 Hour" pattern which turned out to be the perfect choice. I made my first muslin and made minor adjustments to the pattern.

Fitting adjustments:
1. I cut my pattern for size 16 and tapered it down to a size 14 right below the waist.

2. This skirt is meant to be worn 2 inches below the waist, but I like wearing mine at the waist. Since view B was too long and view C was too short, I measured for length using another skirt and adjusted the pattern's skirt length accordingly.

Both of these adjustments were very easy to make and I highly recommend this pattern for any beginning level sewer.

Modifications:
1. I lined the entire front yoke with fusible interfacing and the back yoke with the piece from the muslin.

2. Since this fabric is light, I cut the muslin smaller than the skirt and used it to make a lining.

3. I used a blind hem. I love blind hems!

I have a feeling I'll be using this pattern again to make a cute and quick skirt! Best thing is that it has a drawstring, so it will be flexible if I lose or gain weight.
