Lena wore her Lily skirt at the Sydney Sewer Social and when she asked me to test this pattern I said Yes! Check out Lena’s Lily skirt post. I know some of you are testing this skirt too.

| Here’s my first Lily using tulips. I love this Spring print. |
Putting the pattern pieces together was easy to assemble.
I don’t have lots of floor space so I assembled the first few rows; cut out those pattern pieces; and then assembled the last few rows. The pages are numbered so the pattern pieces came together within an hour.
After I put the pieces together these ‘reference’ pieces were used to trace off my size. I might make Lily up for a few others in the family. It’s happened before.
Initial adjustments: Shortened the hip depth and then took 6cm off the hem. The lining is meant to be 7cm above the skirt hem but I’ve kept it about the same because I wanted to wear this skirt to work.
Final adjustments:

That is so cute and looks the prefect length, even though I thought it looked “tiny” when I saw it the other Saturday. So pretty!

Perfect fabric for a sweet floaty gored skirt. Have you tried it out in the wind? Wondering how Lena's 'wind proof' design works in practice 🙂

Thank you for sewing Lily 🙂 I see what you mean about making the lining as long as the main layer – I would have done the same. Love this length on you, too 🙂

I love how your Lily skirt came out and it looks gorgeous on you! I can't wait to sew mine… I've cut out all the pattern pieces and I'm ready to start cutting out my fabric and making her over the weekend. I'm thinking I might add a little extra length as I don't have the best legs and like to cover up a little more. I think the shorter length on you looks perfect 🙂
