Refashion a Smock Top into Asymmetric Hem Skirt

HOW TO UPCYCLE A SMOCK TOP INTO A ASYMMETRICAL SKIRT 

Before and after smock top refashion into a skirt

 I saw this Anthropologie skirt on line for $228, I thought it was so unique but not $228 unique. It is called the the Corvida Skirt and it was my inspiration for this upcycle. I used a smock top I thrifted. I discovered that this type of refashon will also work very well for making maternity skirts. So this could also be a maternity or postpartum skirt.

 My final product turned out to be very loosely inspired by this.  However I think if I had been working with a longer top or even a Maxi dress to start with I could have made something that more closely resembled my inspiration.

This skirt was VERY easy to make so this is a good one if you are a beginner refashionista.
I have a step by step tutorial on my blog My Life on the Divide.

All I used to make this skirt was the top and scissors! So any one can do it!

That is one cool skirt, I'm always fascinated by the Anthro refashions.

The asymmetrical design is so unique
