REinvention Story - The Tea Towel Tunic

Once upon a time there were 3 REinvented skirts
no one was wearing
due to the owners lack of a waist
skirts weren't a wardrobe staple any longer



sooooo she decided
to REinvent her REinventions

into frocks

the first one was easy

happens sometimes 
the planets align
fabrics all match
and the design in your head totally matches the outcome

sometimes choosing the right Tea Towel
can be difficult
however when you've got hundreds to choose from
not this time



the trickiest part proved to be
choosing the right Bias Binding 
but when you've a shop full at your finger tips
this bit was fun



and having the opportunity to use
every skerrick of Tea Towel
in the right places
added to the project being extremely satisifying


with the added bonus being
the finished frock fits & feels great.



Now if only I can get the other 2 skirts 
to co-operate as nicely.....
