Show N’ Tell: Shirt to Skirt
written by admin
I bought this pretty shirt from the cheap clothing store in the neighborhood and I knew I had to make something spring-y from it. I used the book, Sew What: Skirts to draft the pattern. I strongly recommend it to everyone. It is very simple to use — explains the terminology, techniques and lots of variations. And now I’ll never buy another skirt pattern. I made the yoke with a zipper in the back then instead of using a solid piece of fabric, I used the shirt for the full part of the skirt.
Here’s a close-up of the buttons on the shirt below. I had this ribbon attached then realized it was too tight and took it off for the finished product (above).
I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT YOU ROCK
