In the shop

 

 

 

I have just added these little "Garden Skirts" to my Made It shop.

They are made from a natural coloured hankie linen and have a vintage fabric and doily patch on the front.

Upcycle - Recycle - Have Fun

 

 

 

I am having a wonderful time creating these little upcyled dresses at the moment.  They will soon be for sale in my made it shop.

For Me!

There seems to be a huge difference between the type of clothes I wear and the style of clothes that I love.  Well I have finally made something for myself (in a fabric & style I love).  This skirt was once a tablecloth that I adored, and have had sitting in the cupboard for a few years.

When I wear this skirt I feel pretty & girly. 

There are more tablecloths sitting and waiting in that cupboard, just waiting for a new lease on life.  The hardest part is deciding which one to cut up first!

Upcycle Love

I have been busy designing some up cycled dresses. This one is made from a shirt of mine, that has sat in my cupboard for a very long time (mainly because it is too small for me!) 
My practice piece is always for miss 'E' and at her request it is a long one. 
I love turning something that isn't being used or is a little unloved into something pretty and loved again.  And I think Miss 'E' looks quite impressed with it herself!
