Update! Okay, here’s the shoe information! The shoes are by a New Zealand company called Minx. I bought them at a local shoe store called PedX. They seem to carry Minx at small, independently owned shoe boutiques, so get out your yellow pages and start calling! They are rather spendy (that’s a local term, by the way. I never hear anyone outside of Portland use that term), but they DO go on sale.
On superbuzzy we’re selling some curtain fabric with little sailboats on it. We thought it’d be fun to show some other applications for this fabric, and when Chicken Amy mentioned it’d make a cute skirt, I decided to have a go at it. Well, it didn’t come out exactly as planned; I think it was the design I selected, and I guess I just didn’t think it through thoroughly enough. But, since we’re all friends here, I figured I’d display the skirt anyway:
Let me say that while my particular skirt came out a little funky, I think you can still use the fabric for a skirt (a wrap skirt would be nice), it’d make a great apron, and of course, it will make lovely cafe curtains, its original intent. The edges are finished, and all you have to do is cut around the scalloped edges, and voila, so cute!
And now, what some of you have been waiting for–Peter’s comments (he should take over for
Tim Gunn if Tim decides to retire, don’t you think?):
– “I don’t know if that would even qualify as cute. It’s so strange.”
– “Are you going to wear that around?”
– “I mean, sweetie, LOOK at it!”
– “As an apron I think it could work.”
