#22 Back to School: Slip added to Denim Skirt

*I pledge not to buy any new RTW or thrifted for my "Back to School" wardrobe.

*I pledge to shop from my closet.

BEFORE:

·      Denim Skirt from the closet. 

·      1st refashion MANY years ago was to remove zipper & darts. Added yoga style waistband.

·     This was a great go-to and the denim went with anything year round.

       Too small black slip from the closet. Was shortened years ago with a mid-length seam. 

PROBLEM:

-- 6 am hunts for the right slip.

STEPS: No changes to the skirt.

•         Cut off the length of the slip where the old seam had shortened it.

•         Use the cut off section to piece a front panel to enlarge the slip.

•         Remove the elastic, Serge all edges.

•         Hand stitch into the waistband of the denim skirt.

AFTER:

•         The short slip is perfect. The denim is thick and not see through.

•         The slip makes on/off and up/down movement of the skirt much smoother.

•         No more digging for a slip.
