diy dress to skirt
This project was inspired by one of my favorite dresses. I haven’t been worn this dress in several years, but I kept it…just in case it came back in style! The best thing about keeping your old clothes that you LOVE is that you can always transform it into a beautiful new piece for your collection.
Material:
– scissors
– elastic 2/4 inch
– pins
– measuring tape
– safety pin
Step 1: measure your waist and measure the width of elastic
Step 2: turn skirt inside out & make markings about 1 inch above original waistline
Step 3: make markings along waistline and draw a line to connect dots
Step 4: cut along line
Step 5: fold over the top of the waistline to the bottom with wrong sides together, pin in place
Step 6: sew 3/4 along waistline, leaving opening for elastic
Step 7: pin safety pin at end of elastic
Step 8: feed elastic through top of skirt
Step 9: sew close opening of skirt
nice pics 🙂
