My mum is chronically ill and has lost a LOT of weight and so had recently given me lots of clothes to take to the charity shop.
Amongst them was this BEAUTIFUL black gypsy skirt:
As it is too large for me as well, I decided to add it to the waistband of a pair of skinny jeans I never wear:
Mum had some time ago given me some sewing things that belonged to my late maternal grandmother including such things as a darning mushroom, needles in a case and this beautiful length of embroidered ribbon so I decided to use it on this project.
I also went through my broken jewellery bits and added a bit of steam punk bling :)
Like so:
I used an old rose brooch and added some length of beads and ribbons to add a feminine touch to the hip:
I think it looks pretty and totally my cup of tea :)
Tada:
I absolutely love it and will always think of my roots every time I wear it :)
That's all folks :)
Now go and make something (...or give your loved ones a hug and tell them just how much they mean to you!) x
