Back to School Refashion

It's that time of year again.....

Being a teacher, everywhere I go I'm asked the same question.

Are you ready to go back to school?

Well, sort of.....

My school clothes are ready at least.

This has been the summer of sewing for me.

I found this skirt and top at the thrift store. 

Both were WAY too big for me.

 And there was a bleach hole near the top of the skirt.

So quick as a wink I started cutting.

I added some quarter inch elastic fit to my waist around the top by sewing and stretching at the same time. This creates a gathered waist.

And now I've got another Back to School Outfit.

I'll go get my classroom ready just as soon as I feed my chickens. :)

I'd love a blog visit from you. 

Come see some how I refashioned the shirt and more refashions at The Renegade Seamstress
