Skirt Refashions

After I finished the dress I was so jazzed I moved on to two skirts that have been hanging in my sewing room for months waiting for a little tweak.

The first is a denim skirt with a yoke and the skirt portion has a small gather at each point. I took the back yoke in about 4 inches and made a box pleat. It fits now but I think I'll wait to add it to the wardrobe - I think an applique or embellishment is needed.



















The second skirt was even easier. It's a brown embroidered cotton with lots of great detail. Because of all that detail I felt taking it in on the sides wouldn't work well. The skirt rides low (rests on my hips) which makes it too long. I shortened it by 2 inches. Golden!
