Ok, so, I was reading a new blog I found called Totally Tutorials, and got this great idea for turning a pair of pants into a skirt. Today, I decided to try it. The girl on the post used a pair of her husband's jeans, but I had a pair of capris that I thought might work out.
Beth, do these look familiar? :) Yep, these are a pair of pants I got from my sister. I followed the directions from the blog, and viola'! A skirt!
And, here's what it looks like on:
Sorry that the pictures aren't the greatest, but my husband is at work, so I had to take them myself. In all, I think this project took me 2 hours, start to finish. I'm really happy with it. It makes me think of many more possibilities for making new clothes from old. Matt has a pair of slacks that I might turn into a skirt....maybe a little shorter :)
What do you guys think?

I like it! I used to open up a pair of jeans and insert fabric into the middle part to make a skirt... this one looks much less hippie-ish. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your help yesterday! Love ya girl.
super cute! good job! :)
ReplyDeleteGwen: I remember you doing that! I also remember you adding fabric down the side of a pair of pants to make them more...hippie-ish! :) I was actually thinking of you when I was making my skirt ;)
ReplyDeleteKate: Thanks!
I loved those capris, but the skirt is cute. Maybe you should do that to the rest of the clothes I gave you.
