But it was part of a collection of remnants I've been compiling to make a new slipcover for my favorite work stool.. Somehow when I removed it from the bag I wasn't happy. It was the fabric that pulled all the other pieces together.
So I continued my search and found this thrift store mini skirt I bought to use for a BoHo bag. It is a quite lightweight tapestry and pliable and would work very well. It is quite small (probably a size 2) but I can make it work... It has an aged look and has probably been laundered.
The more I looked at it, the more I loved it and started to see it embellished with black laces, vintage trims, and backed with black velvet. Now I'm eager to start on it...

Great choice...... The close-up photo shows it's real potential. The black lace/velvet will make it ever so elegant! I'll love watching it evolve!

Size 2???? No one in my universe wears a size 2! However, it will make a very nice chatelaine. Can't wait to see it. And soon we will get to see your door :)
I thought this was going to be a long post where you could not part with any of your stash and had to go buy something to use! I like the size 2 skirt....no one should be small enough to wear such a thing...I am not sure it would fit on 1 of my legs!!!

What a neat idea! Was visiting a church a couple of months ago where the lady minister was wearing a lovely patched work Chatelaine made by a friend.
Lovely choice of fabric and I shall be watching to see how you embellishment this. Size 2 should not even be allowed to exist in adult sizes. Blissful Stitching...
I can see this working so well, enjoy the making and share it with us when it is finished.
I really like the rose fabric, and look forward to seeing your new chatelaine evolve.
love your fabric choices! a gal after my own heart.
