Linen and Leather Newsboy Cap

I can hardly believe it, but I made a hat!  Or more properly, a linen and leather newsboy cap.  And if you can’t tell, I’m quite pleased with my new creation. I used the free newsboy cap pattern from Waffle Patterns.  The smaller of the two free patterns was just the right size for Thomas’sContinue reading “Linen and Leather Newsboy Cap”

Brown Floral Skirt – Lackluster to Linen Loveliness!

On this skirt remake, I started with two pieces with potential that just weren’t cutting it yet. The first was a tan corduroy mini skirt. I don’t like that length, so the miniskirt wasn’t working.  Cost $2.50 at a thrift store.
