The Bohemian Cherry is now OPEN!

I have been working furiously to get all the photos and listings done in my etsy shop. I finally decided to do it after all the feed back I was receiving through social media. I put together a small collection of items (there are more, but it's a process).





This has to be on of my favorites. It was a favorite maxi dress at some point. It was sheer and flowing. But I slowly I wore down the straps. I didnt want to part with it so I stashed it away with my sewing for a later date. Now it has been reborn in to something that can be worn in all seasons!




My collection reflects a Boho influence, and lots of up cycling! The hardest part is putting it for sale, because I love it all! Even the skirts I hoarded... and they were not even my size!


I did that with many summer dresses and maxi's. I gave life to some boring light weight skirts. Now with denim and add a pair of color tights you have a new fall skirt!

Add some tights, and boots now a all season skirt!

This denim number is the ultimate winter skirt. At ankle length its long enough and just short enough to show off some awesome boots. for this I used two pair of denim and added denim to the front and the back to create a very full skirt. These are really easy wearing.

If you saw in the pictures there are a couple of necklaces. These are just the cutest things. 

To compliment the Boho style I went with a mixed media look. I also recycle lots of old fabric.

Yellow 4-strand.

Boho Bib.

Boho Elephant

These are just some favorites. I still have a lot of work to do.

 Please come by The Bohemian Cherry soon!

Maxi Dress into A Boho Skirt

This can be an easy or as difficult you would like it to be. For my practice one I used a simple cotton maxi dress. I wanted practice before I attempted cutting my favorite Boho dress (that I have had since 2005). The elastic around the chest is long gone. But I knew it was destine to be amazing, to be reincarnated!

If you did the previous Denim Maxi skirt project you had a pair of strange shorts left over. This is the prettiest way to use them! 

Cut the denim just under the back pockets. I used a ruler and some chalk for the first one.

You are going to want to cut off the top portion of  the maxi dress. This is when you will want to cut it to the length that fits you! (Psst.. if you know me by now, save that bandeau top!)

 The cotton maxi was just a plain tube of fabric. So when I pinned it I flipped it inside out so I could pin some pleats in a more even manner. I attach the skirt under the denim and left the raw edge to fray.

 Then sew! It was that easy.

So here is the one I was waiting for my Boho dress. This dress is chiffon with a slip underneath and a little more difficult to handle. I cut of the top and was able to leave everything connected and pleated. I just had to sew. The only thing I did was adjust the length to fit, and cropped the under skirt so it was shorter and now more sheer.
