Crafty Intentions: Failed Results, Part 3: Lace Skirts

Skirt FIVE2-01.jpeg

So, there was an extended period of time when I couldn't stop adding lace to tiered skirts.  By hand, pre-sewing machine.

They were all (thrift)store bought skirts.  I was so sure I would wear them all the time, but it turns out that my office job didn't think these were very "Office-Appropriate" and they ended up taking up a lot of poofy unnecessary room in my closet.

It still took me about 10 years to officially re-home them to a local craft re-use store in hopes that a more adventurous soul would wear them regularly and give them the love they deserve.

I didn't wear them often, but when I did I sure felt fancy.  It's too bad I didn't get more use out of them.  Also sewing all that lace on with tiny hand stitches took FOREVER. I enjoyed it, and it certainly led me to feeling confident enough to attempt to begin my rainbow king sized quilt, which is what led to me getting a sewing machine... But I'm sad this wasn't a craft that made something I really used.
