Remember how I said this dress wasn’t really working for me as a dress and I was thinking of cutting it off into a skirt? Well, I finally got around to doing it last week and the skirt part is now a high waisted denim pencil skirt with wide belt loops. I’ll wear it once I am back at work next week so no pictures of that for now. I had a vague notion that I would do something with the top part too – turn it into a cropped jacket or shrug, and I am rather pleased with the results:
excellent! That looks fabulous :-)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love a resfashioning project! I turned a dress into a skirt this weekend myself :)
ReplyDeleteVery clever! Did you use a sewing machine? I'm trying to learn but can't even sew in a straight line yet!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!
ReplyDeleteBec - no, I didn't use a sewing machine. I have one, but it's started snapping the thread when I use it. So I hand sewed the bottom hem on the jacket. It didn't take too long and it's quite thin, stretchy denim so the needle went through just fine.
