Description: Anyone else feeling like pulling out their sewing machines? I'm excited to do more sewing and starting off with a very simple gathered skirt - you don't need a pattern or anything, just some fabric, a sewing machine, and elastic! * I made a mistake with the measurements, it should be 6in or 15cm added to the length. Then because the skirt was pretty plain, I also decided to do some easy rust natural dyeing. It's a fun way to create patterns and prints on clothing. * Please note: I forgot to mention that the rust dyed skirt needs to be soaked/rinsed in SALT WATER after - it finishes the reaction and helps set the colour.
