SKIRT REFASHION: Two new khaki skirts!

In search of more khaki pants or skirts, I found a pair of shorts for $8. The length was a little long as shorts but would be perfect as a work skirt. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've refashioned a pair of shorts into a skirt, and the process was pretty simple.

SHORTS TO SKIRT REFASHION

I simply cut up the inside seams, smoothed out the fabric, and sewed new front seam to create a skirt! Although the process was simple and took me about an hour to complete, I have a few issues with making the old seams and new seams look natural. But I think the skirt looks OK.

SUPER UGLY TRIANGLE PIECE

For the second khaki skirt -- which was refashioned from  super big capris -- I thought I needed extra material in the front. In reality, the triangle piece was amazingly ugly and totally not needed! I guess the capris were wide enough that I didn't need more fabric -- so, I removed the triangle.

AH, MUCH BETTER! SO MUCH BETTER!
