Recycled vintage tablecloth skirts

Folksy prints and patchworking are in at the moment, I'm told, so it's never been easier to make fashionable recycled clothing, using vintage fabric. Old household fabrics are always a good option for creating home-made clothing, and as Liz of Great Green Goods points out, old tablecloths are often a fantastic source for retro-print designs, and mixing and matching them in a skirt brings them right up to date. The skirts pictured here were made using five different vintage tablecloths, with a drawstring fastening for easy sizing.

These tablecloth skirts are available to buy at Ekochic, but wouldn't choosing your own swatches be so much more fun? For more ideas on making your own, visit our new site Crafty Crafty.
