Lizzy, creator of ShabbyKnapsack


I'm sure many of you have read the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. What? You haven't? Run out right now and get it. Or at least watch the movie. It will make you feel like a teenager again. But I digress. In the books there is a pair of pants that fits all of the four friends perfectly even though they are all different shapes and sizes. Well, I've got something even better. This is a skirt that will not only fit you but any other female in your home. It is the ultimate "traveling skirt". The name of the company is ShabbyKnapsack. I first discovered this gem of a skirt while at the Portland Saturday Market with my sister 2 1/2 years ago. She bought her first one at that time and has since bought two others. I have two of them myself.

What are they? They are wrap around skirts made from different panels of recycled and vintage clothing. They will literally fit almost any member of your family. I bought one this past week that my eight year old picked out. It is so cute on her and she wore it right after we bought it and wore it all that day. I washed it that night and Emma wore it on Sunday to church. I wore it Monday. Makenzie can wear it too.
Our latest "May girls" ShabbyKnapsack skirt


Some may say that these skirts cost too much. How often do you spend $20 on a skirt? I bought this latest skirt for $78 and four of us will wear it. Not only can we all wear it, Lizzy, the enchanting genius creator of Shabbyknapsack, will fix anything that ever goes wrong with it at no charge.

While wearing her new skirt on Saturday Heidi got some mustard on the front of it during lunch. I treated it with my shout wipes and then went home and washed it applying more stain treatment to it. The mustard didn't come out. I mentioned this to Lizzy when I saw her on Sunday and she said "no problem, bring it to me and i'll replace the whole panel and mail it back to you." How cool is that? She said to me, "I want people to be comfortable in these and even wear them camping if they want." So if I wear mine camping and stand too close to the fire and get little burn marks will you fix it for me? Yes, she will. You basically get a lifetime guarantee on your skirt.

I obviously love these skirts and I think you should check them out too. Shabbyknapsack can be found online at their website and at the Portland Saturday Market. Tell them Krista and Darilyn sent you!
