A friend of mine gave us a bag full of clothes. Oh how we love hand me downs. E wasn’t diggin’ the dress so we turned it into a “Minnie” Skirt!
First off I cut off the flowers at the bottom using the shape of the skirt.
I freehanded it like this…
After measuring the length that I wanted the skirt, I cut off the
top part of the skirt just like I did on the bottom.
I then hemmed the bottom of the skirt.
Next, I added wide elastic that fit E’s waist measurement
(2 inches less than her measurement).
I pulled on the elastic as I sewed it so it gathered at the waist of the skirt.

I love how this turned out.
Check out her muscles!!!
