Hi, I have been away from the blogosphere for a while due to computer breakdown. Now I am happily back again I thought I would share my new skirt made from an ikea pillowcase bought in the charity shop.I was given a copy of "Sewing Green" by Betz White for my birthday a few eeks ago and decided to try her "East Breezy Skirt" It is a very easy and super quick refashion. You just have to slit the short seam on the pillowcase, try it on to judge length and then make a casing at the top with elastic or a drawstring. I was inspired by some of the scalloped hem tutorials floating around to try and add a scalloped hem. I just drew round a There is a tutorial for scallop hem here though I didn't bother with a template and drew round a tumbler instead to get my scallops. Now I just need the english weather to warm up so I can wear my new skirt!

I've got that book. I like your hems. I like making minis from vintage pillow cases. Here's one I made that was Mary Quant inspired.
