This is the second pattern I made for the new #taukomagazine . It`s the YVA skirt and in my story you already can see some beautiful makes ❤️. This skirt pattern is made for stretchy denim but of course you can use other elastic fabric. The skirt hast a quite narrow fit but with a long slit in the front to give you everyday comfort. You even can ride a bike wearing it 🚲.

The principle of sustainability is found in its purest form in self-making: you design, you create with your own hands, you choose the material. And in the end, you wear it on your body and define your appearance.
