Hello Refashion Co-op. I made this watermelon skirt recently. I did it for fun and to see how it would look when I was done.
I used this pink dress and this green skirt. The dress was too small at the top. I cut the top of the pink dress off and used the built-in elastic as a waistband.
You can see in the picture below where I cut off the top of the pink dress. You can see that I attached a 2 inch band of green to the bottom of the dress. I cut a couple inches of the green skirt and attached it to the pink skirt. I added some white rick-rack in between the pink and green to look like watermelon.
The black dots are sponged on with black paint.
Thanks for reading, for more details go to I Can Work With That.

So fun! I've been seeing watermelon dresses in my online shopping lately and wishing I had one. It never occurred to me to make my own! What a great idea!
How fun! Just right for a picnic.
Thanks Valerie. I saw a dress online but it was red instead of pink. Pink Watermelon made more sense to me. I would have kept the Dress if it had fit.
