I got this sweater from a friend. Decided I didn't need a gray cardigan, but thought it would make a good skirt. I love sweater dressing for work -so comfortable, and the sweater is wool - I like quality fabrics in this age of synthetics.
So the bottom band is now the waistband; it's been turned upside down. I used stretch lace on the hem, and liked the look so much that I want to find a way to add it to the outside of something.
This shirt also came from a friend, and had some yellowing that isn't apparent in the picture. So I knew I wanted to dye it, but wouldn't have thought of using gray until I saw
LaLaLauren's post.
I think it turned out pretty well! I knew the thread wouldn't take the dye, but thought that would be okay.

LOVE the gray! It looks beautiful and should be a versatile addition to your wardrobe!
Two fab refashions. Sweater knit skirt is ideal for winter weather, and the shirt looks great in grey.
Thanks for sharing,
