Last night I finished the
makeover of the worn girls brown pants which I converted to a darling ruffled
skirt. I used the same process as the
sweat pants tutorial to eliminate the excess fabric, I cut off the legs, seamed
up the middle, then hemmed the brown part of the skirt before cutting, hemming
and gathering fabric to make a good size ruffle. I stitched on the ruffle then added some
buttons around the pockets and on the bow; it came out very sweet and will look
adorable on my granddaughter. To
complete the outfit I picked out a hot pink t-shirt from my stash and added
some buttons to match the ones on the skirt, all ready to wear to school next
week, she is going to look very cute as she goes off to kindergarten.
(Sniffles, she is growing up way too fast!)

This is recycling/upcycling
at its best, a great way to stretch the budget when you have to dress two
girls. I am having a wonderful time with
clothing makeovers; you can do so much with all the little pieces and
leftovers, watch for the next one in a day or so.
See you soon.
