VINTAGE TABLECLOTH SKIRT


I finally fixed my sewing machine. Well, I think I have, bar for a slight issue with tension all is good. Oh, and the fact that after pulling it apart and cleaning it, I have one screw left over. Hmm not sure about that left over screw. Shall I just pretend it does not exist?  Or pull the machine apart once again?


To take the machine for a good test run I made this skirt out of an old tablecloth. I am not one to normally cut up a beautiful vintage tablecloth; however, this had a lot of stains and holes in it. So I did some creative cutting and vola... I have a new skirt.

On a side note, how hard is it to take “selfies” and not feel like a complete idiot. Any advice?

Plus I could have called this post, “Being photo bombed by a naked 14 month old Boy”.


Not looking at the camera does not help in making you feel like less of a poser.



How pretty is the fabric?


Hey Mum, why is the camera on a tripod? And Why are you not taking photos of me?


 Hi, here I am presenting my butt to the world.


Shall I run at the camera? That will get your attention back on me.


Fine, how about a sneaky bum shot?

There were so many more photo bombs by Jarvis, but front on. So, there we have my new skirt and my naked son!

    1. Naked baby bums are gorgeous. I made a goal of improving my sewing by the end of this year. Fingers crossed I can achieve it.
