Recycled vintage tablecloth skirts

Folksy prints and patchworking are in at the moment, so it's never been easier to make fashionable recycled clothing, using vintage fabric. You could go out and buy some from your favourite craft store, but if you want to be really thrifty and eco-friendly too, old household fabrics are always an option, and as Liz of Great Green Goods points out, old tablecloths are often a fantastic source for retro-print designs, and mixing and matching them in a skirt brings them right up to date. The skirts pictured here were made using five different vintage tablecloths, with a drawstring fastening for easy sizing.
These tablecloth skirts are available to buy at Ekochic, but wouldn't choosing your own swatches be so much more fun?
