I made this skirt using some pre-hemmed table runner fabric from Ikea to lift me out of my winter sewing blues. As it turned out, I had enough fabric leftover for a matching shopper bag. Read and see more at http://www.fehrtrade.com/gallery/102/refashioned-ikea-patrones-skirt-and-bag

Soyouz – you should make a skirt out of your fabric, too! :) I think Ikea’s range is the same everywhere in the world, actually.

Nice skirt… I love Ikea’s fabrics! And the funny thing is that I got the exact same stuff in Montreal! Well, I guess it’s normal, but it’s always fun to see something you got is available across the ocean!
