Shirt Skirt

Several months ago my friend Kilie shared with me this shirt skit idea from "Aqua Seventy Six" and I have been meaning to try it out ever since, but have now finally gotten around to it. So here it is. I made a skirt from one of my hubby's old dress shirts, here is how I did it. . . .

 The lovely shirt, ready to have a make-over

 I cut the sleeves off. . . .

 Then I used one of my skirts to see how long I wanted it to go and cut off the collar part area

 Then I used some of the top part area to cut a little top band sort of thing.. . .

 The skirt idea from the other blog used the sleeves that were cut off as a belt, but I wanted to do things a little different. I used the buttons off this other too-small-for-me shirt to make a belt, and I am also debating whether to use the pockets as seen below. .. .

 Laid it all out to get ready for sewing!

 I sewed the sides up to close off the sleeve holes. ..

 I made some belt loops with excess material

 And put it together and wall-ah!!!

 Now this is me debating whether or not I should add the white pockets. . . . or. . ..

 do just one pocket.. .? I still haven't sewn them on yet, cuz I am not sure if I like the idea, what do you think?

And of course I had to thrown in a picture of me wearing it (sorry for the poor picture mirror quality, I was alone at the time I finished and couldn't figure a better way to get a shot :)

So there you have it! I am excited to try it out for church (since that's the only time I will indulge myself into wearing skirts). What do you think!?

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful evening and don't forget to join me next week, I have been working on fall decorations and our Halloween costumes, so whichever one I finish first I will share with you next week! :)

Until next time!. .. . .
