I have just finished the last of a trio of 8 panelled summer skirts, a sunshine yellow one in ramie. The other two were made earlier this  year, one in cream linen, the other in navy linen/cotton mix. They are alĺ plain colours and will go with the various tops I have made this spring so plenty of outfits for the warmer weather.
They are so easy to make and to wear.

I love ramie, so comfy and easy to work with.

@Ellabella  I got it from Minerva, it looks and feels just like linen, it even creases!

@Silver Rose   I've had a look at Minerva and wonder which Ramie you bought as there seem to be several types.  Thank you.
