St patrick's day...

Another recycled denim skirt. This time I added a pleated trim and big fabric ties in a faux patchwork shamrocks printed cotton. It would make a lovely themed skirt to wear at a St Patrick's day celebration.

Victorian costume

My Victorian outfit is finished ready for the Dickensian Christmas Fair at the weekend...I'm quite looking forward to dressing up! The costume is in three parts, a full skirt with slight train on the back, over skirt of an apron front with bustle back and a fitted jacket. I used some tartan style cotton fabric for the main costume which was left over from another project (there was just enough if I wasn't fussy about the nap)....and the contrast on the jacket is dark blue dupion (again, a left over piece from another project). I'm really pleased with the result....especially as I didn't have to buy extra fabric to make it!
