Description

Navy Blue Linen Skirt with flat felled side seams, front and back waist pleats, front ties, and front button placket.

“Tulip Skirt” by Jenny Gordy of Wiksten Made. The pattern was made available in Stitches Magazine.

I made the large size and I lengthened the skirt front and back, and placket pattern peices by 1 3/4".

I don’t love the hook and eyes at the waistband. I think the next time I use this pattern (and I will!!!) I’ll skip the wiast ties and use a button at the waistband instead.

Material Notes

Blue Linen - $10/yrd black fusible intrefacing 5 mussel buttons (2 holes) 2 hook and eyes

    Thanks for the compliments! Yes, that is a Kenmore automatic button hole attachment. I love it! I only have 2 of the inserts though. :( The cardigan is Proenza Schouler for Target.
