Tiered Shirt to Full Skirt

 Hello Readers. I love getting hand-me-downs to refashion and this shirt was one of those hand-me-downs. It was an unusual shirt. It had pretty stitched detail at the neckline and it had very full tiers of ruffles like a skirt.

 

Before and after. 

This shirt was so wide and full. I wasn't sure why it was quite so big. 

This shirt was a size small but it was as big around as a full skirt. So, I made a skirt.

I cut the sleeves off the shirt. I really liked that needle point decoration at the neckline. Maybe that could be the waistband. 

I folded the top of my new skirt under. I thought I could make a casing for an elastic waistband. 

 

 I finished the casing and put elastic through it using a large safety pin. I sewed the waistband closed and that was it.

 

I always like green and the colors of the waistband were a nice touch. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
