A DIY Pencil Skirt Refashion


I'm a sucker for anything blue and white so when I saw this thrift store skirt, it was a "must have" item!
But it just didn't do much for me in the hip department.


So, I cut away the fabric from the waistband.


Cut off the excess fabric.


Sewed a new side seam.


Added a casing at the waist for elastic and wah-lah.....


A new summer skirt!

I think this variation would be more flattering to hips http://whatiwore.tumblr.com/post/28483515554/what-i-wore-pure-michigan
