RE: Vintage cross-stitched tablecloth becomes a skirt: travel-sewing!

The skirt looks lovely, a wonderful adaptation. Is it linen?

I had a bedcover for many years, I bought it second-hand from a retro shop when those things were all the rage (I think they are now, too) before I realised that I prefer minimalism and modern lines. I kept it for many years and finally donated it to a charity shop - I'm sure someone else will love it.

The room you are in looks interesting - is that a full wall of window behind you?

Ciao dear @shanibeer - many thanks for your lovely comments and enthusiasm for my skirt! Yes, it is linen - at least I think: it is quite very old, and so is very soft and well-used - I have to cover some varnish or suchlike stains on it, and some rust dots from where old pins might have been in it.
It's a big set of glass and wood doors which open onto one of my balconies, behind me, yey - they take up a lot of the wall, but not all of it :-D
I love multiple-layered recycling, and have almost completely lost any interest in new things at all! I love when I can re-use a thing, or when I really don't need it any more, finding a home where someone else really wants it... mmmmm - the world feels so much nicer, when everything is well loved and in its right place!
