Skirt Makeover



 I took two hand me down skirts and made them into one I enjoy wearing. It has pockets! They are my new best friends. I can't tell you how much I enjoy wearing a skirt with pockets. :)
Here you can see where I attached the brown ruffle to the underskirt.
I drew the flower onto the material with a pencil then embroidered over it.
By drawing the stitches tighter than they should have been at the pocket I made a little ruffled edge.

Feather Clip

I've been wanting a feather hair clip and I've been wanting to do something with my hands so I decided to combine the two together. I'm sorry I didn't do very well at taking pictures of the steps along the way.




 The supplies I bought at Micheal's except for the pearls, they're buttons from the button box.

I hot glued a hair clip onto the back. If you wanted I'm sure you could glue a safety pen on as well in order to wear it on a jacket.      





By slipping my hair clip into a little hole that was in this hat I created a nice hat pen.
