• 

  Step 1

  Grab a shimmery, glittery below-the-knee skirt from the 70′s

• 

  Step 2

  turn it inside-out & remove the lining & tags

• 

  Step 3

  lay the skirt flat, snag a loose-fitting t-shirt & place on top with the neck in line(-ish) with the waist of the skirt & the sleeves at the side seams of the skirt

• 

  Step 4

  make a small cut through the side seam of the skirt at the underarm of the sleeve then remove the top shirt & chop in a further 10cm to create a fancy new arm hole, repeat on the other side of the skirt (at this point I highly recommend trying on the almost-a-tunic just in case you require wider arm holes)

• 

  Step 5

  pop over to your machine & hem up the raw edges

• 

  Step 6

  lay the tunic flat once again & pin to shrink the huge, flopping arm holes then stitch down at an angle from your pins towards the existing side seam. Try it on & if all is well trim off the excess fabric and zigzag the edges to prevent fraying

• 

  Step 7

  add a belt if desired, throw on your dancin’ boots & head out!
