I’ve just finished another circle skirt made from an old duvet cover of mine. The duvet cover was not as old as the last one, but still had a copyright year of 1989 so it’s no spring chicken. I used the same pattern from my previous skirt but had to do some tinkering to get […]

I have just completed the creation of a circle skirt using a duvet cover from my childhood and I’m really pleased with the results!

It’s been a while since I posted, and I feel bad about that as I’d been doing really well to blog once a month. Unfortunately my new job meant I was so exhausted all the time! I’d get up at 6am every day then catch two buses to work (one of which was usually late […]
