A year or so ago my dad bought me two vintage curtains at a thrift store. They were really cool – printed with different trains and train signs. I was saving them; trying to come up with just the right project. I had been considering them for a feature segment on a corduroy bag, but after a lot of thinking decided the print was too large and too busy for a bag.
About three months ago I shared a pic of the fabric on instagram and someone commented that it would make a great skirt for my steampunk costume. The idea didn’t really stick with me, until a short time ago when I was inspired with a certain skirt shape.
Once the idea of the shape was in my mind the entire project fell into place! I jumped right into making the skirt and it turned out so awesome!
I filmed enough of the process that I was able to put together a tutorial of my impromptu project. You can find that tutorial HERE!
I hope you love the project as much as I love my new skirt!
