SKIRT REFASHION: My pretty scrubs skirt

One day while rummaging through my stash, I found some old scrubs from a previous job. As an administrative assistant, I was nowhere near any blood, vomit, sweat, or death in my scrubs. So my scrubs were clean and in great shape.

NOT TOO OLD PAIR OF SCRUBS

So, I cut off the waist area of the scrub pants right above the crotch area and then cut off the bottom portion of the matching scrub top (right beneath the armpit areas). The top was slightly bigger than the pants so I fold some fabric in certain areas during the pinning process.

YAY! SUCCESS ... EXCEPT FOR THE SEAM.

Once the pinning was completed, I sewed the two pieces together. After trying on my refashioned skirt, I was very pleased because it fit perfectly and the length was just right. Yay! The final touch was adding multi-color ribbon over the seam.

What a great summer skirt that will be! The striped ribbon was the perfect detail to top it off! We'd love to see a modeled photo. :)

I love the color combination the ribbon makes with the scrubs. Please share a modeled photo (smiles very politely) =D
