Skirt and top
Nothing feels more like summer than cool washed linen. This simple skirt and top are highlighted with pale green cotton "hand done" top stitching. The skirt is made with eight identical gores that fit closely through the hips and fall softly away to the hem. The top was designed with bias panels to allow enough stretch so there is no need for a zipper.
Pattern or design used: My own design
