DIY with John Patrick Organic & Ecouterre

Date: August 10, 2010 | Category: Fashion, Women

As huge fans of designer John Patrick (his eco-fashion line ORGANIC is constantly sported at ecofab HQ) and of sustainable fashion site ecouterre.com, we were thrilled over the recent DIY article published on how to create a “nouveau-bohemian” skirt out of an old t-shirt. Like we always say, “the greenest product is often the one that already exists,” plus this skirt idea is totally eco and fabulous. All you’ll need is a measuring tape, ruler, disappearing ink pen, scissors, sewing machine, and thread (and the old shirt of course). Take a look at the before and after below and then hop on over to ecouterre for the full instructions!
