Skirt Makeover

 Someone gave me a really cute skirt, but when I put it on it was just wrong. It was mid calf length and should have been longer or shorter to look right! Hmmm...what to do to 'fix' the skirt? Inessa needs skirts more than I do so I decided to give it a try. I didn't know if it would work because the side is so flared. Didn't think to take a pic before I cut it up, so I put the pieces back together. This is what it looked like. 

I just cut straight up the center till the skirt was long enough, then cut off the top.

Two little skirts!
All I did was sew the side seam and put elastic in the waist!  I had an old pair of jeans with a flower applique on them. I cut around the flowers and zig-zaged it onto the little skirt.  


So...be inspired! Go look at your closet and see if there's something you can 'remake'!
