Pretty sunny days require pretty outfits. Weeks and weeks of style inspiration has been gathered and I have been craving a peplum hem skirt. unable to fine one I decided to make one. Such an easy skirt to make too. Just adapt a pencil skirt and add 3-4 times the amount of fabric width and the length you require. Gather, stay stitch, pin right sides together to top half and sew…hey presto you have a peplum hem. I am really loving being really creative again and developing a few vintage patterns and remaking them with a modern twist. I still haven’t decided if I am going to be selling my creations just yet. Developing a range can take years but its something I would love to do. So in my down time I have started to do a little bit of designing and pattern cutting. If we ever won the lottery its something that I would do in a heart beat. This skirt is such a simple item to make for spring. Grab an old pencil skirt that fits you perfectly, unpick carefully and you will have an instant toile/pattern for you to recreate all sorts of designs.

If yo don’t want to make one for yourself you can purchase them on ASOS this one below is priced at £40. Mine cost me £12 and took me 1 hour to make!

Well worth digging out the sewing machine if you have one. Just think of all the money you will save or all the other stunning items you will be able to create.
