I am Remaking skirts 70's style

Creating recycled skirts to sell on Etsy and reliving my college days? Does anyone remember cutting off the bottom of the legs to worn out jeans and making a skirt?

I like to find gently worn or new skirts and recreate them into something unique..Some are new, never worn  like this Ann Taylor corduroy that I added a tartan plaid pocket and hand dyed doily accent with lace around the pleat.

This simple but flattering knit skirt just wanted coral lace around the bottom and bow made from the same lace...

Here I made the elastic waist skirt myself and added a signature pop art flower that reminded me of Andy Warhol. Love to know what you think of my designs and suggestions you have,

thanks for looking...

Classic British Black & Tan

Tans and black, so classic, to me an all season color combination. It reminds me of Burberry plaid, which I do adore. 

Anything English makes me think about my constant companion , my Yorkshire terrier,

KRUMPET

Always British, the classic detective Sherlock Holmes. Of course, I visited this pub when I visited London.

With the last name of Doyle, could I not? Have I mentioned that my Dad was a  real detective?

Checks on floors, checks on walls, 

compliment black tones in my office. The egg shaped wood box originally held to hold tea.

Kitchen Fall design at the homestead includes whites, golds, tan and yes black.

Acorns are dropping in the neighborhood, my trees are about to drop chestnuts. 

 

Really feeling like Fall now,

enjoy,

It is the

100th post of White Wednesdays at

celebrating the shades of white,

 I thought I would create a collage of whites.

Soon to remember I have made a few already, so here is a trip through my archives...

A simple collage of the architecture

of Somerset, Massachusetts where we live...

collage of items from my Brayton Cottage shop...

a plea for help on which accessory to select!

for the love of dogs....

wondrous shades of white... 

concluding with the collage on my last post.

thanks for visiting!
