I thought Spain was supposed to be sunny?
It’s shaping up to be a wet and gloomy spring here in Madrid, and today I caved in and bought a made-god-knows-where umbrella in the metro, out of sheer soggy desperation.
When it inevitably falls apart, I will find a couple of its sad umbrella cousins (easily scavenged sticking out of trash cans all over the city), and make this skirt. Or this one! My umbrella’s black, so I’d pick a contrasting color, or maybe a plaid (ooo fancy!).
Even though Ikea was listed in the International Labor Rights Forum’s 2010 Hall of Shame, I would still probably make and wear this upcycled raincoat.
