The Leggings Skirt

Hello Readers. How are you doing? I hope you are safe with a cup of tea somewhere reading this post. I have been trying to work through my refashion stash while we are all on this Corona break. I am making some progress.

I had the bottom half of this dress left over from a refashion. I also had a pair of old capri length leggings to use. I was ready to go put it all together.

This is the original dress. It is the ugliest and most boring dress I have ever seen. In. My. Life.

It had 2 side slits that did not help make it more exciting. Who made this? Why did they make this? What hurt them so bad that they made this sad dress as a cry for help?

Some un-sewing was required. I had to unpick the stitches from 1 side of the skirt and sew one side of the skirt closed. I wanted to make a wrap style skirt and use the leggings as the waistband.

I attached the skirt to the elastic waistband inside of the leggings. I realized my leggings were too long. I had to shorten the leggings.

That was no problem.

My new skirt-leggings hybrid was ready to wear.

This black skirt did not photograph well at all. It never showed in the photos. Here is a really bright picture that shows the skirt. It looks like it was taken ON the surface of the sun.

Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
