I got this idea when I was cleaning out my sewing closet and found a bunch of vintage embroidered dish towels that I had found at an estate sale last summer. I was wondering what to do with them and realized how cute they would be on a skirt. I know that it’s probably not a new skirt idea….but here is my result.
This particular embroidered piece is actually a dresser scarf…so it has two embroidered ends. I took it to my local quilting store to match fabric and I love the way is turned out. Sorry I don’t know the fabrics…and I serged off the selvedges….but I love, the pink and blue combo, very 1950’s to me.
And below is the tutorial if you want it. It’s a bit long so I put it into scribd….so it wouldn’t take a million years to scroll through it on the blog. Happy sewing!
LOVE!!! I have so many vintage hankies that I don’t know what to do with, this is perfect!!!
That’s adorable!! Very nice! 🙂
I really really love this skirt…and I love that it is long and poofy it makes it even more 1950’s to me.
This is adorable. I love the touch of lace around the bottom edge.
So sweet, gosh I want one 😉 Clarice
