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.
After: Denim skirt updated w slip 1st re-fashion- add yoga band Short slip added, no more 6 am hunts |
1st re-fashion: Yoga band |
After: Short slip added Skirt is not see through Slip adds ease of movement to the denim fabric |
Before: Older too small slip |
Before: Slip had already been shortened with an added seam-line |
What a good idea! It never crossed my mind to wear a slip under denim, but I can imagine how much it would increase the comfort of the skirt.
ReplyDeleteVery clever and handy to sew it in. Nice one!
