...this takes refashioning to a whole new level...all I needed was a length of Op-shop sourced fabric (in my favourite colour!), a re-used invisible zip (I had filed), a little imagination (free-hand machine embroidery) and a few hours (I had up my sleeve)!
This was my Christmas Day Skirt. There's a photo on 'Re-invented Garments' of Veronica in the one she made during the last lot of workshops. Personally I love no-pattern sewing as I find it sooooo very liberating however I do realise the importance of commercial patterns in others sewing and this is why I am going to offer 'Playing with Patterns' during 1st Term at The George.
We're away as of tomorrow for 8days of sun, sand, surf & sleeping in which time I will recharge and be back ready for whatever awaits!

this can be worn with the 'waterfall' as you call it to the back, front, side, whatever.
one of my all time favs! :)
i love how you folded over the top and that colour! gorgeous.
I really enjoyed making this one and the couple of times I've helped others to do the same. I saw one recently that had the detail (Waterfall) in the front running at an angle.
