Barbara posts on Wardrobe Refashion showing the long black skirt she made the previous winter. The embellishment design evolved, starting with stencils and spraypaint, moving to applique and then buttons. The result is an artistic, sophisticated look.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
I have a plain black pencil skirt which has been stained with bleach just above the knee on the rear side.
I would like to get an idea of how to embellish this expensive skirt in order to be able to wear it again as I love the fit.
Could you suggest anything??
That’s hard to say without seeing the skirt and the placemenat and size of the bleach spots. I would think that a floral applique would be pretty, perhaps also out of a black fabric so it becomes more of a textural design.
