Glimpses

Photobucket

Since finishing uni last week, I've gone a bit skirt crazy and have made 3 skirts, and found another 3 in Charity Shops that need alterations. I made this one yesterday morning (from a men's shirt) and took it off quickly to take a photo. Little Honey couldn't keep her paws off it!

The brushed cotton is so soft and cosy...

It's just so comfy and easy to wear. I want to make 5 more, but do I need so many..?

I found this Anglepoise in a bric-a-brac shop in Brighton last weekend. It was quite a bargain and I adore the colour.

The sea air in Brighton was really refreshing.

We went on a trip to Oxford on Sunday morning and travelled via Paddington.

Can't wait for these home grown pears to ripen fully.

    In my opinion you can NEVER have too many skirts. ;)

    How did you make this? Would a beginner sewer have problems with it? I am always looking for more cozy, comfortable skirts to wear...and this one is SO cute.

    I love it! Thank you for replying to my questions. Looks easy enough...you've inspired me to pull out my sewing machine. Now, the search is on for the perfect men's shirt.
