I attacked the t-shirt first, turning it into a tank top. As you can see, I used an existing tank as the pattern and just sewed new seams. I didn't even bother hemming the neckline or arm holes, as it's jersey. We'll just see how long it lasts.
For the skirt, I ripped out the back zipper, took it in about three inches, sewed the zipper back in and hacked off a couple feet off the bottom. Overall I'm very pleased with the look.
This is probably how I'll style it. Note, I turned the couple feet I hacked off from the bottom into an infinity scarf. So easy!

ReplyDeleteOf course! I don't stoop down. Even if it's for flowers.
DeletePatti, seriously. How in the world do you just "whip up" new clothes?! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe operative word there is "whip." As I was leaving school today for an appointment, I sat down in my car and heard a loud riiipppp. Yep, the zipper ripped right out. Thankfully it happened in my car (and not in 1st period), and thankfully I was able to go home and fix it after the appointment.
