Outfit Number 24 - Tablecloth skirt!

Here is the tablecloth skirt complete!





It's kind of barkcloth in texture, but gorgeous colours and lovely print! I'll add a little clasp on the back, but I think it's another one for the etsy shop! (if hubby takes a gorgeous fashion pic of it!)

I love making new things from older things that people have thrown away! I think this was from an Adelaide opshop, and it had some tatty edges that didn't make it to the finished product here, although I did use the good edges for the hem of the skirt, so didn't need to run a new hem. Yay!

  2. Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog. I like this skirt, very 1950's which I dig alot! The guy modelling with the purse is a classic! Thanks for the laugh.
