A Big Bag of Goodies - It's Alteration Time!

So today I inherited a bag of old clothes from my lovely friend Jenny! (Thank you!) it was a lovely afternoon and it was nice to spend it with the girls for once.

Seen as we didn't try any of the clothes on at the time - which in hindsight wasn't the best idea - I have an evening of riffling through them and ripping seams, sewing bits on here and there...

It fits in nicely with my grey skirt, which at the moment I still haven't found the right fabric for, but the idea is there of recycling and editing existing clothing to make your own, which is what Toni Sews is all about. 

Anyone else planning on upcycling clothing this week? Tweet me @tartantonaay with your ideas!

Tall Girl Problems: Midi Skirt Edit

So last week I posted about making a long skirt into a small skirt for a tall person, if you get me! This is the skirt folded to roughly the length that I want it to be, and there's a lot of extra fabric which is usable.

I'm Having Some Tall Girl Problems Here. Any Help?

Any ideas would be much appreciated...I bought a skirt and have no idea what to do with it!

So last week I managed to rip my only bodycon jersey skirt - you know the ones, they're sold by many of the high street giants, cost you under a tenner and are great to wear if you want your legs out* but still want to be comfy. Now this is where I have a little problem. Well, in the case of last week, then I had two.
