Nevis Sewing Pattern – Merchant & Mills

For climbing mountains or pounding pavements, this walking skirt has two versions. A high waistband, pocket and button detailing ideal for utility cloths or a simple tie detail ideal for soft linens.

Skill level: Tie waist – advance beginner / button waistband – intermediate.

Fabric suggestions – mid-weight cotton canvas, 8oz organic sanded twill, corduroy, light-medium weight woolens and 7-10oz denim. We suggest using softer fabrics for the tie version to give a relaxed silhouette such as linen, tencel/linen, linen /wool blends.
