Skirt to tunic 2

This skirt was made from the same pattern as the one on my previous post. However this time I was unable to find any leftover fabric to use in the refashion, so I had to be a bit more careful with the bits.

This is the skirt.

Lovely fabric, isn't it?

I cut off the hip yoke and removed the gathers. Narrowed the skirt leaving pieces wide enough to make sleeves. Used the hip yoke to make 1 back shoulder and 2 front shoulder yokes. Gathered the skirt onto the yokes, leaving gaps for armholes. Cut new sleeves following a T shirt and fitted them. Made a v neck at the front, and a smooth curve at the back. Used scraps of fabric to face the neckline.
I made a tuck at the centre front to take in a bit of excess fabric before facing. Might take a bit out of the back too, it's a bit baggy.

I'm really pleased with this, it's a useful addition to my wardrobe, to wear with leggings and boots.
