GOAL: Refashion 10 Items for August Back to School.
This is August #9.
*I pledge to shop from my closet.
Cindy Taylor Oates The Big Shirt pattern shown below was used for the 1st Refashion. It is a good way to make use of small fabric pieces,
BEFORE: This is a 2nd Refashion of an older 1st Refashion.
MANY years ago, this blue skirt set was Refashioned from a striped pants set and a light weight blue linen.
LATER, I re-made the skirt and added a thin muslin lining to the thin blue linen skirt.

I still wore a slip and 6 AM looking for a slip was not fun.
NOW, the lace stash and a too small slip were the answer.
STEPS: Sewed 3 strips of stash lingerie weight lace side by side to make a wider lace panel.
Sewed the lace panel into the sides of the too small slip.
Top and bottom edges of slip were serged but not hemmed.
Refashioned slip was stitched into the waist of the skirt.

Once again the lace stash comes to the rescue.
I *much* prefer a lined skirt to searching for a slip. Great fix!
