Robot Skirt

A little felt applique, embroidery and some buttons liven up this thrifted skirt.
 <  Image 1 of 4  > 

When I found this skirt thrifting I thought it had potential even though as it was it was a bit plain. Loving all things kitschy space related I decided it needed a little robot peaking up from the hem.

Wee Mr. Robot applique here was made from felt that I fabric glued into place then embroidered down the edges with blanket stitch. I really like fabric gluing when small pieces are involved. With pins it always seems to warp the pieces enough to be annoying.

Vintage buttons and ric-rac from the stash worked well for his embellishments and also added some colorfulness that was otherwise lacking.
