Hello everyone!
This is my first post here on the Refashion Co-op. I am so excited to be contributing, and I love the fact that now I will have a reason to finish some of the projects that I start and maybe would not be as motivated to finish!
A little bit about me: I am a military veteran, a graduate student (but only for a few more weeks, I graduate in December!), a wife, a burlesque dancer (I know! Scandalous!), the loving and doting companion to three "fur kids", and an animal rescue/adoption advocate. I blog over at Em-provising, and am really enjoying it. I love getting to know fellow bloggers and am sooo impressed with the amount of talent and creativity I see in these other women.
For my first contribution, I am posting a skirt I made a little while ago that has become one of my favorites for fall. I love it! The best part? I got it for free!
"Before": this skirt was about a size 18. Since I forgot to take a picture of it then, this is a picture of the original length, which was a weird, mid-calf length that was not flattering on me. This is FatSpice, our fat cat, who likes being in on the projects.
After I had taken in the waist, making sure to preserve that cute waist-tie thing that the skirt originally had, I shortened it. Here is the finished product!! I love wearing it with my go-to booties and a white shirt. Of course, I pair it with a sweater now because it has FINALLY gotten cooler in Georgia. :)
If you would like to see more of the steps, you can go to the original post. Thanks so much for taking a look! :)
