Putting words into action. Doily denim skirt.

I am not all that enamoured of the entire Paula Prass, Summer Soiree range. I do however, absolutely LOVE this print containing doilies of course! I made skirts for my market stall with co-ordinating spots. It is called Nosegay.

And here is some rare footage of myself in a recently op-shopped denim skirt. It was down to my ankles, so I took 4 or 5" off the bottom. I left the edge raw and used strong top stitching thread to sew around the edge to stop it fraying too much. Finally I added a pretty and finely patterned doily in ecru tones. I'm quite happy with it. The skirt is comfy and a little unique. A bit like me ;) I had more pinned on initially but decided that a little goes a long way. Total cost, $6.49.

So finally I have actually USED one of my many doilies. I raided the op-shop for doilies the other day and came home with another 40 so it was definitely time to put them to use. There's still another 100 or so there!

I am adding regularly to the giveaway pile!
