I am very happy to share the Valencia Flouncy Skirt I made last month. This pattern is by an indie pattern designer Sew Into That (Anaïs).
I was lucky to have been able to test the pattern, and here's the photo of the front view.

I usually do not wear feminine kind of skirt, but I like this one. Maybe because I love Valencia - such a charming city near a town where my good friends live.
The fabric is a Japanese fabric called "chirimen" (this one is made of polyester, although one can find silk chirimen as well.) Chirimen has a crinkle texture, so even though this is made of polyester, I don't feel like it sticks to my skin very much.
The sewing instructions were well written and easy to follow, and I liked the sewing tips the designer provided.
The flounce was technically a bit challenging using a rolled hem pressor foot on my sewing machine because this polyester fabric frayed a bit easily and the curves at some points were pretty sharp. I should have just used the rolled hem function on my serger. A lesson learned. I will utilize my serger more in the future.
