Sylvie's Refashion project numero uno (:

Hey there(:

I'm Sylvie from Sylviepops blog of the Arty+Crafty, I've been making my own clothes from scratch and altering+making everything/anything since I was about 11 or so. Instead of seeing something I want I always think to myself if I can make it instead of buying it, and usually the answer is yes, unless I really want it!

I was kindly invited along to join this blog by Erica not so long ago and thought it was a super fun site and easy to find what your looking for, plus its just awesome from every direction. We need more refashionistas in the world :)

Anyway enough ramblings, I want to show you one of my recent most favourite skirts I have made for Summer. It was originally made from a single bed sheet that was 'dated' looking and over 30 years old anyway. When I saw this I instantly saw an opportunity to make a cute and easy high waisted skirt from the frilled hemming along the edge of the bed sheet. The entire project took me slightly over an hour due to careful planning. It was worth it though, I'm head over heels for my new raspberry skirt!

Making it wasn't as difficult as I had anticipated, I'm usually getting frustrated over certain things going wrong and such but with this I was so determined to make a pretty skirt that I got everything done in my own time! It has a cream little zip at the back and a hidden small belt in the top band which can be pulled in from behind to cinch in the waist. Also it's my first skirt with successful deep oval pockets. I just think this little skirt is super cute for Summer! :)

I also added this skirt to Project Restyle and you can see it's before and after photos here.

Hope you enjoyed my first post here at Refashion co-op.
See you soon! XOXO
