my creative space...


I made a skirt!
It's a lovely grey linen, simple, flouncy & exactly the way I pictured it in my head!  I left the edge raw, which I love, with a simple elastic waist.  Super easy, super comfy, cool in the summer time & nice with some leggings & boots on cooler days, though looking at the picture it seems I may need to find myself a pretty petticoat..
...and then I made two!  More creative place here..

  1. Aren't you clever?! Loving your new skirt, and how simple. Char made a few skirts like this (but shorter) and now she has five or six. I think they are addictive. I'm a big fan of skirts, and yes, they are a winner all year round!
    Hope you are having a great Thursday..enjoy the sunshine xo

  2. Oh I love the grey linen with the raw edge!!!
    Fab idea - I've only made shorter skirts for
    the girls so far. Love the idea of boots underneath
    for cooler weather - gorgeous!XX

  4. They look really great Mel. I've seen that second fabric in the shop and your idea of making it into a skirt is fab, its floral but a bit wintery too having the grey tones. Mmm, like I need another project right now!

  5. Loving the unfinished edge. There's something about leaving a little personal detail like that that makes it even more special to wear something handmade.
