Winter trousers and skirt

Just in case you were thinking I'd been idle, I thought I'd post the last bits of winter clothing I refashioned during the long cold weather we had last month. Desperate for more warm clothes I rooted some fleecy things from the back of the wardrobe, 2 pairs of baggy joggers, and a midi length stretchy skirt.
No before pics, but the refashions were so simple, they made the unwearable wearable.

All I did to the trousers was stitch up the inner leg seam to make them narrower, more like leggings. Then they tucked cosily into my boots.









I shortened the skirt to knee length to make it a bit more trendy. It has a slit up the back which I managed to leave about 2 inches long so it looks as though it was meant to be there.




Sometimes it just takes a very simple change to make a garment wearable again. I wore these constantly until about 2 weeks ago!

Making things wearable is truly the most important part of refashions. Thanks for the shares! -Seeks, EOD
