The Linné Skirt

Hello! Today I´m posting a skirt I made this week, it´s based on the swedish vintage pattern Vi-mönster 3324. Great pattern, very easy to make!

It´s got pleats and a big and nice waistband. I love it, and I´m looking forward to be wearing this with sandals instead of wellies! :-). It´s called the Linné skirt because it is inspired by the swedish botanist, and father of modern taxonomy, Carl von Linné aka carl Linnaeus.

Vi Mönster 3324 - two-piece skirt

Hello people, long time no see! Is this because I´ve stopped sewing all together? No, no. I am just a lazy photographer;-).

Well, here are one of my recent creations, it´s a pencil skirt cut in one whole piece (plus waistband, hence the title). This is a peculiar, and quite interesting way of drafting skirts, I must say!

The skirt gets its shape through darts and pleats, and a back vent. I have been using this skirt a lot this winter, as it is both warm, comfy, and quite stylish, if you ask me!

The pattern is Swedish, Vi Mönster 3324, and is probably from the late 50´s or early 60´s. I´m actually not sure. But the pattern comes with both a full skirt and a pencil skirt, a jacket and a hat! Cuteness.
