Hello Readers. I am not a huge fan of button-down shirts. They are usually stiff and feel confining. And I need to be free! So, I cut one into pieces and made better use of it. Let me show you.
Before and after.
This shirt was fine but I never wore it. I decided to make some other things from it.
I made a dickie yesterday.
After I cut the dickie out of the shirt I had plenty of shirt left over. I cut off the bottom of the shirt. I wanted to get rid of the shoulders and sleeves.
I also wanted to add some elastic to the top of this piece to get a waistband. This is going to be sort of a skirt.
I made sure the elastic was the size for my waist and I stitched it to the top of the skirt piece.
This is the finished "skirt".
If I were to wear just the skirt with the dickie it looks crazy but that wasn't what I wanted to do.
I wanted to wear these 2 pieces under other clothes.
I like the shirt cut up and worn under casual or dressy clothes.
This would be so comfortable and fun for a holiday party. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
***Year End Update- This skirt piece is great over leggings. I like it that way.
