'Skirten' around'

I know this blog has been boring for a while with no new posts... however I have been busy sewing... promise!

Lately it's been skirts, skirts, skirts.....

I haven't been making anything overly exciting, just playing around with material and ideas that pop into my head. Some fail, some are successful. I haven't been following any patterns either, so as you can imagine - some things turn out shocking! ha!

I had loads of scrap material that I loved, but had no idea what to make. Two weekends ago, Pete & I got to go to the races with our friends Nick & Bel. So the scraps came in handy when I needed to make a skirt....

After sewing all the scraps together, I decided to sew them to a spare black slip I had but never wore... pretty perfect in my mind - a ready made skirt =)


The skirt....




And on race day...


I made this skirt out of some adorable fabric that my mom sent me. It's for a gift & slightly tight on me... but you get the idea.







Next off I made this skirt, with my fingers crossed that it would be a great holiday skirt....loved the material!


However it's a little too snug for my liking.. so not sure what I'll do with it just yet.


And finally I used up some of the tee shirts that Mom sent me! This skirt is a bit random, as I was using it as a trial skirt and just using loads of ideas that I had in my head.... it turned out pretty cute. Weird, but cute.










So that's the skirts for now....

Any ideas that anyone has for me to try next????
