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.
Please check out this page for this pattern to sew the skirt yourself, or you can always hire me to make this skirt for you.
