I love this! (and your entire blog – you’re creating some incredible work!) Do you recommend a different fabric for a similar look as the picture? Not necessarily wanting to do faux leather.
Thanks! I think any kind of woven fabric will do, as long as it’s thick enough. Something like a suiting fabric should be good (gabardine, twill, heavy crepe…).
i really enjoyed making this skirt ! I had to go down 2 sizes but it was a breathe to make.
Do you think I can do this with denim?
Of course
