Linen Floral Pencil Skirt
I am loving how much use I’ve gotten out of the pencil skirt pattern from Gertie’s New Book for Better Sewing.

When I got the fabric for my bombshell bodice, I also picked up some fabric to make a skirt. It was an amazing novelty sewing print by Suzuko Koseki for Yuwa. I have to say, I am absolutely in love with the feel of this Japanese fabric. I decided to download the Linda Skirt pattern…
