  Step 1

  Gather your supplies, and put your skirt on to determine where you want the shortest part to fall. Mark this spot with your chalk.

• 

  Step 2

  Turn the skirt inside out (in case your chalk doesn't wash out, it won't be visible), and fold it in half down the middle.

  Important --> fold in half down the middle of the skirt - as if you want to make a crease down the center of the front & back of the skirt. (You'll know you've done it right when the tag in the back of the skirt is folded in half).

• 

  Step 3

  Using your chalk, draw a line on the fabric where you will cut it. You want the line to be straight in front, and to taper down on the sides. Then take a deep breath, and cut the fabric.

  Optional: you may want to draw it out on something like a paper bag first, then cut it and use it as a pattern like I did.

• 

  Step 4

  Try the skirt on to make sure it's the correct length. When it's perfect, fold & iron the hem (folding twice if the fabric is prone to fraying, as this will hide it when it does), & pin it down.

• 

  Step 5

  Sew the hem either by hand or with a machine.

• 

  Step 6

  Then pop that puppy on and admire the coolness that is you.

  And don't forget to give yourself props for doing such a kick ass job.
