The blue peplum skirt

His ladies, today I wanted to show you the latest skirt I refashioned. I bought this skirt with the intention of shortening it and keeping it a full skirt but the fabric is very thick and doesn't drape well so instead I used this pattern and made it into a peplum skirt. The pattern was fairly easy to follow, I think it could have helped if I had read the instructions before and not while I was trying to cut and sew. Anyways, here is the before and after.

After
Peplum
I definitely recommend the pattern, except for the waistline which, for me, was the most difficult part. Hope everyone has a great Friday!

That is awesome!! What a huge difference!! I love the peplum. What do you have planned for the excess fabric? Is there enough for another project?
