When it comes to Vogue V1486 Designer sewing pattern by Nicola Finetti I am convinced it is the best DIY skirt sewing pattern! Why?

Because I have sewn it 5 times now. With plans to yet make more of these midi-length skirts. My sister has put one on order as well. The fifth project is my latest Minerva Blogger Network sewing project which you can check out here.
