After being teased with snow by the weather forecasters for weeks, we finally got it. By afternoon it was gloriously sunny, but cold. This snow will be around for a couple days I think.
I finished up a vest I've been working on today. It's made from two skirts (thrifted), reclaimed buttons, and thrifted bias tape for the arm hole binding and for some trim on the back. Total cost, under ten dollars.
The back gave me a bit of grief as I originally cut it to short. I had cut the front longer to save the fringe, which I love. My solution was to piece together a "second" hemline. Very happy with the results....
One thing I want to remember: skirts are a fantastic resource for larger pieces of salvaged fabric.
