i bought a broom stick skirt from the secound hand store and i put it on and it ripped... dont buy from good will in texas.
yeah I've got like 2 or 3 skirts and a dress I love, and they are in cool paisley indian prints but they've torn, and not something small that someone like me, with no sewing skills whatsoever could do anything with. I would love if someone could make them into a really cool panel skirt or skirt and top or something. It's depressing to think that I bought them and wore them so few times, and now they are sitting in my basement.
They can be a great buy but they do get thread bare after awhile and rip. What about a patch where it's ripped? pfft~ most of my skirts have holes in em. I have even tied some of them back together where the holes are.
Broomstick skirts must be easily torn because I have a couple with rips or holes in them. I don't think any of mine have any hems left,after I've stepped all over them. I think a patch would be a good idea too,or if it's small enough,try to handsew the tear,it probably wouldn't be very noticable.
hey..your in a den of amazing talented designers and seamstresses, why dont you post the fabric off for a project for someone..id love to have a go! there must be people on here whose work you really admire that you could else to recycle your fabric and recreate something beautiful for you? love luchi xxx
I would love to. I love the stuff everyone shows off here. I've just been really strapped for cash lately so I haven't asked anyone. Plus I don't really have anything to trade... well, I have quite a few tiedyed dresses and tops I just can't fit into right now, but I was hoping to save them for when I could again. But then again, that probably won't happen
well, if you wanted to send me the indian print stuff that doesnt fit id be happy to make you some groovy stuff...totally understand if you wana hang onto it and play yourself!! but if you wanted something made im happy to..and not for a price silly! i just want projects!! altho you may want to find someone in america if your strapped for cash..i duno how much postage overseas is :S but yeh..its your call xxx
Goodwill is usually pretty good about returns if you have a reciept, I would return it and tell them what happened. the most you have to lose is gas to the store
