Donovan Sewalong: Finished Donovan!

Who doesn't want to sew a linen skirt in the summertime? This Donovan Skirt in washed linen from Blackbird Fabrics is such a lovely summer piece and will surely get loads of wear for years to come. Chloe is modeling this Donovan paired with a simple knit tee. Donovan also looks great with a tank or bodysuit, a cropped top (like Ashton), or a tucked in blouse!

The Donovan Skirt can be made at any length and has side slits for longer versions. The waist is finished with an elastic and optional waist tie.

Best of all - the Donovan Skirt has pockets! These slant pockets are a nice addition to this classic skirt, making it highly functional AND comfortable.
