Happy holidays everyone!
Today is the 2nd Christmas Day where I live, but I know the day after Christmas isn't celebrated everywhere. So whether you're celebrating Santo Stefano, 2nd Christmas day, Boxing day or having a nice 'normal' day, I wish you happy holidays and here's some extra festive inspiration: I upcycled this plain denim skirt with denim and (silver) sewn branches. In my head I saw branches with blossom but it seems I skipped the flowers and it's just branches and small leafs. But I think you grasp the concept:).

The plan was to cut the main branch out of denim fabric, so I went to the thrift store and found the perfect jeans for only €4. I wanted to embroider or sew the smaller branches with silver thread, that would make them look more delicate...
...and, hopefully, more festive! A good thing I'd drawn the design of the smaller branches beforehand, since it was a real challenge to sew the smalle and round shapes of the leaves.

| Fraying the branch made all the difference! |
To bring the branch more to life I frayed it with the seam ripper, which was actually a fun thing to do, destroying something and at the same time creating a beautiful effect!

Wow! I love that. It really makes the skirt more sophisticated.
