I was inspired by Alison Willoughby's Book: 49 Sensational Skirts ....
It has a lovely soft feel ....
I lined the skirt with a red homespun - just sewed multiple rows of straight stitch for the hem - leaving the edges RAW...
I adapted her splat design to fit my silk screen ..
I screen printed foil adhesive along the wrap around skirt (pattern from the book) ...
I then ironed on the lovely silver metallic foil ......
wait for it to cool .... then peel off the plastic and foil remains!

Popped in a couple of Slide Adjusters - memories of netball skirts ....

I made the top as well - New Look 6729.
You can get metallic foils here - I'm experimenting with adhesives- some are better than others - this technique is fun and super effective - I shall be foiling some more!
