wiksten tulip skirt #2
May 11, 2012
So much for my high-flying plans to try out new things in sewing this spring! I always fall back on old favourites it seems…Wiksten patterns just fit me great and the tulip skirt is such a classic piece that I just had to make a summer version (see the winter version in corduroy here).
The fabric is a lightweight linen-rayon mix. Perfect for warm days.
To shake things up a bit I added pockets and a contrasting waistband inside.
I love this pattern…simple and easy and yet so neat with all the handsewn seam finishes. I also love how it sits at my natural waist, which I know suits me.
I hope Jenny decides to make more patterns in future, I can’t wait to sew them up!

This is so cute!
I admire you that you can sew & for making it look so easy…. !
very beautiful skirt!
Lovely as always. It looks like it has a really nice drape to it. I agree, I’m always hoping her next blog post will be announcing the release of a new pattern!
Love this! It’s absolutely gorgeous! I’ve never used a Wiksten pattern before, but I’m loving the versions I see popping up on the internet.
it looks great! i admire jenny’s patterns as well, but always thought that the tulip skirt wouldn’t fit me – your version tends to change my mind :)
by the way i really, really like the quilts you make as well as your affinity for “greenie” things! may i ask where you got your wristwatch from? i’ve been searching for a one like this for quite a time now.
have a nice evening :)
Thank you all :)
@ Lauren, exactly, I would love it if Jenny decided to offer more patterns, her clothes are so easy and elegant.
@analog thanks so much! My wristwatch is D&G (it was like 75% off when I got it) and it’s nearly 10 years old so I’m afraid you won’t find the exact one now. I hope you find what you’re looking for soon :)
in the last december issue of neet-magazine i’ve read that jenny plans to offer some new patterns this year!
the interview starts on page 113 and on page 116 she says, “i have a spring collection coming out, some new sewing patterns to release, and more wiksten home goods.”

so hopefully this will come truth :)
Yay, that is great news, thanks!!
Yes, great news! I hope so!
As always, perfect, looks cosy and really stylish. Love it.
Your new skirt is super precious!!! Well done Kristina!
