Creations from Clutter Week 3

Third week of decluttering and feeling good! I hope some of you are doing your own spring cleaning and turning your clutter into creative projects. 
This week I found a good sized piece of white cotton that I had gotten from the thrift store some time ago. I was feeling like doing some art but knew I had to create something from my clutter, so I decided on something new. I would make a skirt and just start some random free stitching without any pattern or drawings. I would 'doodle' on my skirt with thread the same way I doodle on paper with markers. It just takes a lot longer! But I was happy with the outcome! 




Click on any picture and it will take you to The Cat Rack - my shop on Etsy. 
I challenge you to try something new this week and hope to hear back on how you did!

    Cute skirt. You did all of that with thread? I also love the skirt style too with the big buttons down the front.

    I just read the 3rd week of decluttering, I am trying to use up some of the yarn I have in my stash and therefor saving $ by not buying new and using up yarn that has been sitting!

    How long...hmmmm....well I did it in about 3 hours I think. The skirt was easy. It was the thread art that took a while!
