#14: raphaella makes a maxi skirt PLUS fabric printing!

although i'm usually in the ultimate comfy item - leggings - i do love a maxi skirt every now and then!

i'd been wanting to make one for ages in a lighter fabric but couldn't find one i liked anywhere...and then it dawned on me - just print your own!

SO
two guides!

first - the maxi skirt, and second - easy peasy fabric printing!

the maxi skirt - takes less than an hour and only 3 steps!:


fabric printing - learn how to make your own material for a truely unique item!:


here are some terrible pictures of me in my hand-printed maxi!


i bought a patch of "astronomy" themed fabric online and loved this sun, so i traced around it and made it into a stencil...et voila!


and there you have it - an easy peasy truely unique item!

roll on springtime...

happy making!
