Description

I love this dress, unfortunately I grew, and the dress didn't. So I cut off the top and made it into a skirt.

Instructions

  1. Small skirt 002 1263141373

    First cut out the zip from the dess. You don't have to be that neat, but I like to keep zips for future projects.

  2. Small skirt 003 1263141513

    Then I cut off the top of the dress. I pinned the line and cut an inch above the pins.

  3. Small skirt 005 1263141656

    Then sew a hem (a running stitch is fine.)Make it wide enough for the elastic and safety pin to get through.

  4. Small skirt 006 1263141743

    Attach a safety pin to the elastic and feed it through the hem, knot the elastic, hide the knot in the seam and sew up the gap.

    And there you have it! All done!
