Black linen trousers turned into a skirt
This was one of my first refashions – I just never got around to sharing it. I am forever trying to find clever ways of refashioning those linen trousers that I love to buy but which inevitably end up with holes everywhere. If you like the idea – which is quite simple – let me know and I might make it into a tutorial.
Also if you have some ideas for refashions of old linen/cotton trousers feel free to post them in the comments and I will add them to a future post about this sort of thing.
Whether you have come here to have a look at John's illustrations or Eddie's design projects, welcome to Grey Duckling!

Thank you Erica,
I’m sure your first refashion wasn’t shameful though – you do such lovely stuff!
