Hello lovelies!
It's Wednesday again, and therefore time for a little DIY madness to break up the monotony of the working week. Except, I've had no shifts this week, so I guess it doesn't really count as a working week for me. Fail. Anyway, while I was on holidays in Hervey Bay I managed to pick up two licensed Wolverine t-shirts for only $2 each! Amazing, am I right? What do you mean everyone in the world isn't as obsessed with Wolverine as I am? What do you mean loving a fictional character this much isn't healthy? Ahem. Anyway. Last night I performed a little surgery on one of the shirts. Take it away Wolverine Slasher Skirt!
Ok, so this photo makes the top of the skirt look really poorly done, but really that's just me standing like a dork. It actually has a waistband made from the bottom of the Wolverine shirt. I cut out the front panel of the shirt, and used it for the front of the skirt, funnily enough. The back is made of some grey/black striped stretch knit I acquired from an op shop some time ago.
I'm so proud of the back! This is the back panel of the Wolverine shirt, slashed at 2" intervals, hemmed at the sides, and top-stitched onto the back of the skirt. Argh, I love it so much. This shot shows the waistband better as well. I'm going to wear this skirt to see Avatar 3D at the Gold Class cinemas tomorrow (free tickets for Giftmas represent!), that' s how proud I am. Until next time, xo.
PS: Speaking of DIY, aren't these the best homemade gift ever? My grandmother made these cushions for The Boyfriend and I for Christmas. She even did all the embroidery and beadwork herself. I love them so much!
