I finally finished my HP Deco Vibe Flippy Skirt. I had it on hold for the same reason as my previous jacket in the same fabric — I can’t find a coordinating trim that I like! I topstitched it just as I did the jacket.
I am very happy with the style and fit. This skirt is so comfortable! Going by HP measurement charts, I would normally have cut a 14 at the waist blending to an 18 at the hip. I chose instead to cut a 16 throughout, because I wanted the skirt to sit a little lower and hug my hips
I thought it looked close to the illustration on the cover except mine looked more A-line than “flippy”. That could be due to my choice of fabric and the fact that I am quite hippy (which fills out the flippy portion!).
I love the seaming detail on this! I particularly like the back yoke. Even with my ample posterior, I think the skirt is flattering.
I envision a couple of more versions of this skirt. I will make it again in a softer, drapier fabric and I also plan to make it again soon in a lightweight denim for summer.

What a great, classic skirt! I love that! It looks fabulous!
Hi Erica, thanks for visiting. I’m a big fan of your work and your blog!
Nice work! I like it in the tweed.
Very cute! I’ve looked at the pattern many times. Now I might just have to get it.
hello .- the skirt I am wonderful. how the back is very beautiful, really. I think this pattern admits any tissue, including a denim, as you say. greetings. Paco
Your fabric choice is perfect for this style. I really like the back yoke as well. Pretty skirt!
What a wonderful skirt! I’ve had poor results with the HP patterns I’ve purchased and sewed so I no longer look at the pattern line, but the back of this one is fabulous!
this is adorable! thanks so much for sharing.
