Given a fresh start is great-happy memories every time you look at them!
ReplyDeleteThose turned out great! Love the batik fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out beautiful and you will enjoy using them instead of having the fabric just hang in your closet.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
What a beautiful way to use the fabric. They turned out so very nice. Every time you look at them you'll have a memory of where you purchased the skirt and the times associated with that. Well done!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
A true transformation. You have a great mind for recrafting Nancy. That was too pretty a fabric to do away with for sure
ReplyDeleteGreat transformation!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to repurpose old fabric. I have a stack of it beside my sewing machine and your post made me realize that I need new placemats. Your table mats are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you have recycled that gorgeous fabric. And using your table mats will bring back happy memories of you and your skirt!!
ReplyDeleteSewing is such a wonderful art! I admire those who take the time. One of my favorite quilts is the one my mom made for me. She took the old jeans my husband wore, my dad, and even some from the kids and cut them into squares. She stitched the squares together and placed the batting and backing on to it. She had tied the yarn at the intersections of the squares (not sure what that is called) to keep the batting in line with the front and back. Wonderful memories! thanks.
ReplyDeleteLovely skirt but a really nice transformation.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
