I have a stash of old fabric that I could try this out on and it won't matter if it goes wrong as it wouldn't be an expensive waste! I second the comments about the fabric being lovely as it is wintry but not overly festive - so wearable after Christmas too! xPorcelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202283149145094340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-62225812693562244382015-12-21T00:59:56.891-06:002015-12-21T00:59:56.891-06:00Absolutely beautiful skirt!
