Boutique


Here's another alternative for the skirt transformation that I posted before.
This is just a small sample piece that I will demonstrate. Sandwich a piece of printed fabric between two pieces of denim as shown.
Baste the edges together

Sew some random, curvy lines

Make a cut between the curved lines making sure you only cut the top layer of denim and then make several small cuts up to the seam line. (I hope that made sense)

Once this piece has been laundered a few times it will look like the picture below.

Sew this piece into your skirt as I described in my previous post.
