It's been a while since my last blog and the cloud of guilt has been hanging over me the whole time. However there is a lot to report. Here is one of my new ventures (or so i thought)

The initial idea was to buy second hand curtains/fabric at a reasonable price from Charity Shops and make something beautiful and useful (as well as clearing out some of the rubbish from the shops out here....they'll sell anything)

This creation was made out of a single curtain (there was no partner to it!) and an out of date (never to go back in style) Miss sixty denim skirt.

Pattern was made (not my strong point), iron was bought, webbing sourced and sewing machine borrowed.

Now I love making things but if I am to make a living (or even some cash) this has got to be the most time consuming project and I'll have to charge at least €50 a bag......not market stall prices.

So, on ward and upward, I've given it a try, quenched the thirst and satisfied those asking to see it.

Next project is to customise as I always intended.
