Hello My Lovelies,
In this episode, I'm Sewing My Vintage Utility Capsule Wardrobe and I'm starting with my priority sew, The Shepherd Skirt by Merchant & Mills. I'm really looking forward to building some wardrobe basics that I can style in a vintage way, mainly inspired by women artists and 1930's workwear. I'm aiming to sew this lovely skirt as well as I can and at a very leisurely pace! Let's see how I do!

I used a vintage Liberty London Tana Lawn called Honeymoon for the pockets which I'm not sure is available any longer.
