I’ve tried my best to show you this inky black denim skirt with the stencil on the left back panel but in the winter light I have found it very difficult to get it to look good.

The stencil looks well defined and the hem at the back drops to give the skirt an elegant flow.

My intention for this stencil is to print it on to a plain denim back panel and cut the front panel from some printed fabric. My problem with this was that this denim bled terribly when it was washed, so I made plain black front panels for these.

I will still be using the original idea so stay posted for photos of the end product. I think they will look quite good.

Also……I had my second ever ‘skirt party’ on Saturday last to which I took the first round of Bird Skirts (more photos in an earlier blog).

I was a little surprised to see how popular they were, in fact all but one were sold! I will definitely be doing some more of those in the weeks to come but they will probably be in denim rather than cord as I’m busting to move out of winter and into spring.
