denim skirt patchwork detail detail



I hate it when I see other people wearing the same outfit or clothing item as me, it just doesn't feel right. So I decided to put some patchwork detail on a generic denim skirt I bought to make it more individual. 
I recently made a patchwork quilt and had a few squares left over. So I cut the squares into more rough and smaller squares and tacked them onto the  skirt. Once I got my sewing machine to like me again and put it on the zig zag stitch I sewed the patches on. I did the same for the back detailing too although I arranged the patchwork to be on the other side when I'm wearing it to stop it being too symmetrical. It was pretty quick to do so it would be a good way to personalise any other denim item that could be a bit more interesting.
