Black shawl from Black Gauze Skirt

After Black Gauze Shawl

Trip: Western Caribbean Break 

Packing Goal: Refashion from the stash.

Before: Solid Black Gauze skirt was a long ago summer favorite.

Cozumel NOT the RanchHouse

After Shawl: 

• My favorite travel accessory.
• Slide on/off for temperature/ shade/cover-up. This one went to the beach, pool, Mayan Ruins, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and was my pillow on the bus. I wore it over my shoulders, around my waist, and over my head in cathedral. 

Before: Black Gauze Skirt

Steps: 

• Cut off and discard the waist-band. Open one seam.
• Serge all edges. 
• Turn under and stitch 1/4" all edges.
• Turn under again and stitch 1/2" all edges.
• This is a thin gauze. The process and product varies depending on the type / amount of fabric in each skirt. This a forgiving process.

Before: Too thin as skirt.

Tape captures threads, etc.
