Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I love this skirt – it’s made of dusty pink floral linen that I found for next to nothing at a small fabric shop in the middle of town. The roll was all dusty and hidden under lots of other fabric but I saw potential! The skirt has a band that sits on my hips and a gathered skirt beneath that. It is lined in pink polycotton. I sewed copper sequins on all the bunches of flowers – this took forever but it was worth it. I tried to wear it to church tonight but alas my 22 week old baby is growing fast and the zip doesn’t go up…..I hope to wear it again next year!
Material Notes
Floral linen, polycotton for lining, zip

I love the fabric that you used to make this! It’s a really pretty color for the delicate pattern.

Hey, that’s a lovely skirt!
I used to have a dress made out of sequined/embroidered linen. I didn’t pay much attention when ironing the dress, and all sequins melted out :-[. I hope you won’t repeat my mistake. Maybe you already had that on your mind?
