In last week's creative space I asked for some advice and inspiration for a skirt refashion.
But advice wasn't the only thing I received...
On Tuesday a parcel arrived for me from Leonie.
A very special brown-paper-package-tied-up-with-string. And inside:
Generous amounts of lightweight denim fabric, sturdy brown fabric, a fabulous button, this amazing piece of pippijoe which I have long coveted...
... and some top-notch suggestions for what might be done with them to aid in my skirt beautification!
How could I not trust the creative instincts and suggestions of the woman behind the gorgeous pants of Raglan Guld?
I'll be taking Leonie's advice, and hope that I'll be able to show you the fruits of my labour some time during the week.
Thank you Leonie for your generous, encouraging gesture, I'm absolutely stoked.
More creative spaces over here.
I'm so glad you liked it and I cant wait to see the results. It was so much fun sending it off to a good home.
