I loved creating my latest REinvention
as soon as I slid the rose crusted linen skirt off the op-shop rack,
regardless of the too-small size,
I knew it was coming home with me

initially I thought a skirt REfashion
however I would have lost the gorgeous weighty feel & fall of the fabric
along with a row or two of the roses
which would have been tragic
so instead I opted for an Apron Frock

and by folding

manipulating

cutting
and stitching
I combined
a too-small linen skirt
with a too-big linen top
& edged using contrasting continuous cotton apron ties
while retaining & highlighting existing raw edges
to create
a garment I would love to keep
but can't fit in the wardrobe
so I'm letting this one go
and because I have no idea if anyone would even be interested in owning one of my pieces

Oh how to let that baby go - she looks lovely. I am sure you wont have any problem with bidding. Heck I would bid if hubby would allow such a thing on the internet (nasty stuff it is - lol)
ReplyDeleteWow Jody it's so sweet, if only I was a petite little thing but the "boobs" spoil the look of so many things, ah well. Hope your creation finds a happy home :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful...not sure it is my size but I am tempted to bid anyways...will be back when I do some measurements. xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, you really are so very clever. Shame you have to let it go but I'm sure someone will have room in their cupboard for it. x
