45-5 PIAZZA STORICO Buttoned-down skirt with potato-stamped skyline

This A-line skirt is not just a sewing project – it’s an art project. With its classic silhouette and clever front pleats, it gains a one-of-a-kind look through a hand-stamped border and illustrated cityscape, created using potatoes, textile paint, and fabric markers.

The design allows for personalization, creativity, and a touch of nostalgic flair, while still being elegant and wearable. Key Features Front button placket: Neatly spaced buttons down the front allow for easy closure and add visual rhythm.

Waistband with velvet detail: A hidden highlight — the velvet ribbon is sewn as the waistband for a soft, luxurious finish. Pleat construction: The pleats are cleverly folded and topstitched just below the waistband for volume and structure.

City illustration & border print: Transfer the city motif with a textile marker and stamp the border using hand-carved potato stamps for a colorful, artistic edge. Selvage hem finish: The pattern is designed to use the fabric’s woven edge as a clean hem — no need to fold or finish unless preferred.

Customizable length: The included version has a 77 cm length, but the skirt can easily be adapted to your ideal midi or maxi length.
