In 2021, I had the pleasure of visiting May, who began her journey as a Saturday girl at Nordiska's flagship store in Gothenburg. During my visit, May proudly showed me the shop dress she used to wear — an elegant black poplin cotton skirt with a wide silhouette and a beautifully embroidered pocket. Inspired by this piece, I delved into our archives, found the original pattern, and now we're excited to offer it to you!
Fabric Details:
- Size: 37.5 x 40 cm
- Pattern Dimensions: 21 x 30 cm
Embroidery Colors:
This skirt pocket pattern is embroidered in four vibrant colors: acid yellow, blue, green, and turquoise. While we leave the colour selection up to you, we've curated thread hanks of five single colours HERE
Fabric Recommendation:
For the best results, we recommend using our Favourite Linen. The print adheres beautifully, and you can wash the fabric beforehand to allow for a 3-5% shrinkage before starting your embroidery. Please note that we always suggest dry cleaning rather than washing to maintain the pristine look of linen.
If you prefer this pattern on black, you have the option to dye the fabric using Dylon colour, or you can wait until September when we'll have it printed on black linen.
Versatility:
This pocket size is not just for skirts — it also makes a stylish addition to a canvas tote bag or a unique case for your laptop or tablet. We can’t wait to see the creative ways you use it!
Stock Available:
- Favourite Linen: 15 pieces
- Spring Green: 1 piece
