Pattern: Drafted based on my WW1 nurse aprons, which are loosely based on the Wingeo #411 1910-1915 skirt pattern
Fabric: Thick black cotton twill
Haberdasheries: An invisible zipper
A first: Putting in an invisible zipper
A nicely warm long cardigan I own doesn’t look that nice with trousers,
but also not with flared skirts. I thought it would look very nice with a basic
black fitted skirt slightly longer than the cardigan itself, but couldn’t find
one, so – the usual, I made it myself.
As the bottom part of my World War I nurse aprons came quite
close to what I had in mind for this skirt, I decided to base it on those
aprons! So it’s got the same panel layout at the front, English seams, and I
also added similar pockets sewn between the panels.
This was my first time working with an invisible zipper, and I’m happy
with the result! Sewing it in was easier than I expected, even using a regular
foot.
