Maxi Skirt Refashion
If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen I finally found a moment to do a bit of sewing for myself. I’d bought this skirt from an op shop a couple of months ago for $3. It was a size 20, but I just couldn’t pass up the pretty floral fabric. As you can see Eamon and I could fit in it together with room to spare. Andrew’s comment as I tried it on for this photo was ‘is that an old maternity skirt’. Hmmm…
This refashion is barely worth a tutorial as it was SO simple. So all I will give you is an image and a few tips.
How I did it.
– Try the skirt on inside out and pin the waist in to fit. (Check you can still get it over your bum and off – trust me I did it wrong first time round).
– Pin and sew a straight line from the waistband to hem. (Mine had elastic at the back so I pulled it in towards the front so that I didn’t lose the stretch).
– Check it fits.
– Trim and overlock.
See SUPER simple.
What do you think? (Other than the fact that I need to stop sewing and find the time to get a haircut I mean!)

Very cute!
I love it…super cute…especially for three dollars!
And I like your hair. Did Eamon find the time to get a haircut…it looks a bit shorter in the first photo?
Love it, and hope to see more refashions for YOU! 🙂
Looks fantastic! Gotta love a $3 skirt!
How gorgeous are you! I LOVE that fabric. Great job fixing it up lovely xx
Love it! It looks great. I love buying pieces like this as well and changing them up with a few stitches.
