The Good Times pattern is a slim A-line skirt with a reverse seam detail that makes the most of a beautiful selvedge. Oh, and she has huge pockets! It continues our ethos of making well thought out practical patterns to fill a need in your wardrobe for many years to come.
This skirt is fitted through the hip and has been designed to be made in 2-way stretch denim & takes advantage of those gorgeous selvedges that no-one wants to throw away!
But don’t worry if your favourite denim has a less than perfect selvedge, we’ve got you covered with 4 other seam finishes too.
With 2 hem options to choose from – finished with contrast fabric facing and deep topstitching or an on-trend raw edge finish you can create multiple looks from this one pattern.
The waistband cleverly uses the reverse of the denim for a delightful contrast. A centre back channelled zip finishes at the top of the waistband for a clean contemporary finish.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Caring for your fabrics is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity. Here are some essential fabric care tips to make your clothing last longer and look great.
First and foremost, always check the care label on your garments. While most fabrics benefit from similar care, certain items like wool may have specific instructions. For general care, wash your fabrics in cool or cold water. Hot water can degrade fibers and cause colors to fade.
Avoid using chlorine bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric over time. Instead, choose a phosphate-free detergent. These gentle detergents clean effectively without harming your textiles.
When it comes to drying your clothes, it's best to tumble dry on a low setting. This helps prevent shrinking and unnecessary wear and tear. For the best results, dry similar colors together to avoid color transfer. If you want to maximize the longevity of your fabrics, consider line-drying your clothes. This method reduces the risk of damage from the dryer’s heat and can also save energy.
Ironing your fabrics? Always check the appropriate heat settings based on the type of fabric you are working with. Utilizing the right heat can help you avoid burns and preserve the integrity of your garments.
If you have any delicate items, laundering them in a mesh bag can provide extra protection during the wash cycle. Always be mindful of embellishments and finishes when caring for your fabrics.
Ultimately, proper fabric care ensures that your clothes continue to look fresh and new. By following these easy tips, you can enjoy your favorite garments for years to come.
