T-shirt Stripy Skirt

Let me start by saying how over the moon I am with this skirt! So glad it all worked out right in the end after all the confusion trying to figure how to pin all the strips together so it all flipped out the right way... very very happy with the result!

So here's my stripy skirt made from strips cut from t-shirts...

LOVE IT! So I took the tutorial from Cutton And Curls here to make my skirt... yes it's another idea from my Pinterest board I know I'm on fire working my way through my boards projects but there's still so many left to try!

Can anyone else tell I'm totally in love with this skirt yet? Only thing I'm thinking is that if I make another one I may take a t-shirt of a smaller size to make the waist band to save taking it in... or making little belt loops for some ribbon to hold it up better and look pretty too?

Should mention that my man loves this... not only is it a nice skirt to him but it's black and white stripes just his football team's kit.... Newcastle United lol oh dear!

Nautical Ruffle Necklace

I said I'd be posting the matching necklace to my Anthro inspired nautical top and sloan square shoes, so here we go...Just a simple ruffle necklace
Unlike so many of the tutorials I've seen out there I didn't feed the chain through the ruffle, I used a bit of ribbon instead and then attached the chain to loops made at the ends of the ribbon.
Quick, simple and cute :)
Oh, and I've not abandoned the top refashions just yet, thought it might be nice to see something else for a change ;)
