Skirt made from recycled jeans.
I made this cute wee skirt from an old pair of jeans, and a duvet cover I picked up in a charity shop. Watch out for pictures using a real life model soon!

Making a Start
I decided that it was pretty rubbish that I'm not able to sew so I've decided to put that right and have a go at learning. Thanks to Mum, I now have a sewing machine. I'm not at all artistic, and I don't have a great deal of patience. I suspect anything I make will have missing stitches, wonky seams and edges that don't match! The blog title came to mind when I was thinking that I really don't have any artistic skills. I think it has a charming irony!
So, here's my first attempt at sewing. A baby blanket as a gift for my friend Tess who is about to give birth to daughter number two. I followed this online tutorial and found it quite easy.
