Finally I can show you the thing that's taken me nearly a month to finish.
The Hubs cleared out his stuff and gave the clothing all to me. (he's well trained and appreciates my thriftiness) So I had a bunch of button down shirts that I knew exactly what I wanted to do with. I've been eying Indietuts's tut for the piecework button down shirt to circle skirt: And so I set to work. I used 3 button down shirts, and one pair of stretchy pants from a thrift store rag bag that I'd been saving to make the skirt. I even pieced together strips to make the waistband.
The fury thing on my wall is a scrap piece of boar hide that I got from someone on Deviant Art. I finally got around to doing something with it. Ideally I'd like to make a hand bound book and use it for the cover but this way it's not folded in some box never seeing light.
And the na cute little skirt made from fabric from my stash. I'd been hoarding it as I only bought 1 yard on etsy and it was very expensive. Well I finally realized I'd been over thinking how to make a skirt with it. I cut it in half and stitched the two pieces together to make a long length of fabric and turned both hems under. Added elastic to the top and wha la! Skirt! So pleased with this one I've actually worn it 3 times so far. I just kept forgetting to take pictures.
Pretty closeup. :) Thanks for reading!
