I designed the skirt a few months ago and slowly I searched for fabric and raided all the local op-shops for doilies.
The main fabric is a beautiful piece that my sister brought back from overseas a few years ago. I couldn't bring myself to cut it up so I waited until I had the perfect project to put it to good use. The lace fabric is a remnant I picked up at an end of year clearance, I love scrounging in remnant bins and collecting bits for my fabric stash.
The crochet cotton around the top and bottom was a part of my Grandmother's yarn stash which I hand dyed with eucalyptus leaves.
