Meet the Ettie Petticoat + Skirt!

Reasons I love this pattern: First, ruffles! And insertion lace! So pretty and delicate and delicious! You can make it as a historical petticoat, or make it as a modern skirt, it’s fabulous as both.

I’ve been hard at worn on the next Scroop Pattern, and have a fabulous, versatile petticoat (or modern skirt) pattern ready to test. So, that means I need testers to help make sure it’s absolutely perfect!
