Dress to Apron to Over-Skirt

 Hello Readers. I have been having loads of fun refashioning this blue dress. I made an apron, a pair of shorts and today I made a fun skirt. 

Before and after. 

I liked the blue apron I made but honestly, I have a blue apron already and I treasure it because a friends mom (<3 Betty Lou) made it for me. So, I decided to keep remaking this dress into something else. 

 

I used my seam ripper to remove the top of my dress. I had to un-do all the stitches across the front of the waistband. 

 

I ended up with an open skirt with the tie around the waist already in place. I sewed that waistband closed where I had opened it. 

 

I wanted to wear the skirt over the shorts I posted about last time.

 

I cut the skirt shorter so that it was just a bit longer than the shorts. And I tied it in front.
 

That means I had to cut and iron and ...

 

Sew a new hem all over again. That's OK. 

 

 I really liked how this skirt turned out. I can wear it over the shorts or just wear the shorts alone. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
