Making a Victorian Petticoat (and summer skirt)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Are you ready for spring? Because I sure am! Or perhaps you are already enjoying her warm embrace? Whether it be as an extra petticoat to keep you warm in winter, or as a light, breathing linen skirt in summer, I hope you enjoy this little adventure.
Materials:
2.5 m natural green and white linen bought from Raffina ( www.raffina.no/ Norwegian shop and friend) at Trondheim Vikingmarket. I’m afraid most of their stock is offline (and also the shop is in Norwegian).
0.4 m gorgeous diamond twill linen from www.etsy.com/no-en/shop/Linen...

    Cute! I love a multi-tasking garment. Well, multi-taskers in general. It's fascinating that the linen can be naturally green...I learned something new! Also, hello, leftie! 😍 Brings me so much joy when I see other left-handed makers. We're more common than everyone thinks...

    Thank you! The sewing thread for my machine is Scanfil organic cotton, which seems to be relatively easily accessible around Europe. Not sure what is available if you are US-based though. The silk thread I am gathering and sewing buttonholes with came from an Etsy shop called YARNITALY and was my first order from them. The thread is lovely, though the ply splits easily it doesn’t affect the strength. You could totally knit silk stockings with it too!
