AngelFairyDust's very first refashion!

Well, where do I start?

 My name is Lauren and I am a mother of four beautiful children. I live in England with my fiancé David and our kids. I have always enjoyed making things and sewing especially, so in March of this year I decided to start a blog!
I also suffer from Fibromyalgia, hip displacement and degenerative disc disease in my spine so it takes me a very long time to create my refashions, (and everything else I make!) 
But this one was my very first refashion.
I started out with this old denim skirt that I hadn't worn since before the birth of my third child....
It was fraying quite severely at the bottom and had lost around two inches of length because of this, but I really liked it, so I decided to spruce it up a wee bit!
I added some stunning lily print 100% cotton fabric from my stash, which perfectly matched the inner colour of the pockets, and voila!
One very comfy but stylish new mini skirt!

And here is the back...
Pretty huh? It's a shame I can't wear it though because I haven't lost my baby weight yet!

Take a look at this refashion on my blog here


Thanks for looking and thank you for adding me to this wonderful blog!

Thanks Lisa! I bought it a few months ago to make a quilted table runner to give to my parents, in honour of my grandma, Lily who passed away last October.
Here is the blog post for it
