5 Lovelies.

It's funny how themes come out when you make things in batches sometimes. 4 of these 5 skirts have a red and green and/or flowery theme. I've just got nature on the brain. Nature and Christmas. This first skirt is made from a vintage table cloth I found at the thrift store. It's been barely used and is so colorful! It also has this cool woven, slightly nubby texture that is very charming. This second skirt incorporates a vintage bird tablecloth that my mom brought me. She's really become my agent in the field when it comes to vintage linen reconnaissance and I'd say she's doing pretty well! The last three were made from repurposed linens that I found here in Brooklyn. I'm expecially fond of the bright, paisley one in the third skirt and the gold in the fourth. One of the cool things about living in our neighborhood is that there's a large African population, which means cool fabric and dresses sometimes show up in the thrift store. I found a huge African dress made out of this woven gold fabric and I thought it would look just darling with the different blue linens. Kind of like an embossed china teacup. The waistband and one of the fabric panels of that skirt are from a repurposed Martha Stewart sheet. It's just terrific! All these beauties are available in my Etsy shop and are one-size-fits-most, so come on down!!
