Today seemed like a good day to get crafty. I'd seen this on Pinterest, and what a better way to make some fabric more interesting than to add a cute print?
Better yet, I got to be outside in the sun to work on it. It's a beautiful day up here in the woods, the kind of day I long for in the never-ending winter. Tonight we're having an Unemployment Party (what a thing to celebrate!) on the barge, which is a pontoon boat stripped of all furniture and canopy--basically a flat boat used for hauling. We put a grill on it, and I believe it will be adorned with a couple couches for proper seating. I may be soon employed, however: I applied for a job today to telemarket donations at my school this fall. In the meantime, I plan to enjoy the summer weather in the best place possible: the lake!
Super cute! What will you do with the fabric?
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I ended up making a skirt--I thought the print might be overwhelming in a dress, but in a skirt it was just right. :)
DeleteVery cute, in the right colours it could be very Orla Kiely. Will you post pictures of the finished skirt? I'm sure it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I had never heard of Orla Kiely so I looked her up... what fantastic prints! So much inspiration. Thank you for cluing me in!
DeleteI definitely will! Perhaps this will motivate me to actually get outside to take the photos, haha.
Orla Kiely is fairly ubiquitous on this side of the Atlantic, I went to a sample sale and £1000 dresses were down to £100 but I still couldn't justify buying anything for that much so I ended up just spending ages admiring the clothes up close (definitely not a creeper).
DeletePlease oh please do, can't wait to see them :)
That was a very clever idea!
ReplyDeleteI will sure try it!
