The Flowery Skirt

Not the day today

The last few days I decided to take all my UFOs a step further. No matter how small the step. A dart or a hem. So I did. And now I feel much better, the pile got smaller and less overwhelming, and the pins are back into their little box. Because it happens that I run out of pins.

So...why was it not my day today? When I was just about to finish the blue shorts, this happened:

Err, they will have to wait until tomorrow to be rescued.

Then, I managed to finish the bronze hat. Quite lovely!

 

But! Some threads pulled out from (or of?) the edge seam of the brim. Ugh.

However, there is one good news. I also finished Z's pants! :-)

Cute hat from leftovers - WR

Cute! Made with the leftovers from this project following the instructions fellow Refashionista Andreae provided. Thanks Andreae!

I also made mittens using the orange sweater leftovers but, ugh, it was a disaster. They flew directly into the trash bin. Sometimes it happens...:-(

Crocheted hat - WR

Some more wool recycled!

 

Crocheted hat - WR

I used wool remnants. The pattern is based on a Japanese chapeau pattern. Like it?

 

I think I'm also going to make one brown and orange.

A hat -WR

This one was made out some jeans fabric remnant I got, and an old shirt, and embellished with circles made out of remnants of embroidery thread and some old buttons. The pattern is from Burda.

 

I might embellish it a bit more, though. What do you think?

 

Pirateish, no?

Ciao!
