Are you ready for spring? Because I sure am! Or perhaps you are already enjoying her warm embrace? Whether it be as an extra petticoat to keep you warm in winter, or as a light, breathing linen skirt in summer, I hope you enjoy this little adventure.

Materials:

2.5 m natural green and white linen bought from Raffina (Norwegian shop and friend) at Trondheim Viking market. I’m afraid most of their stock is offline (and also the shop is in Norwegian).

0.4 m gorgeous diamond twill linen.
