So what did I do last Sunday?

Well I had these


which were a bit worn
a few little holes
not much good as shorts because of where the holes were too high up
so I turned it into this


I'm not much of a seamstress
Frequently take short cuts
Make do will do
Perfection not required

And more importantly this was only required for house-wear

Bring on the warm weather

Did I mention that last Wednesday it was 25C!!!!!
Pity it went back to 17C the next day

  6. I love the skirt Maria - that is very thrifty of you and denim is quite hard to sew isn't it. We are on the downward slide to winter ugh!
