Hey folks!
Its been a while since I’ve posted, and I do apologise, but I’ve been SUPER busy and our internet has been playing up. I know, excuses, excuses, but never fear! I have an exciting project to share with you!
So, I bought these pants 2 years ago for $10 bucks! Bargain, I know…. however, in the last two years since I’ve had them, I have worn them all of 4 times.
Pants…such lonely pants
Don’t get me wrong, I liked the pants. They have this cool fabric and look like jeans but they’re not denim… oooh tricky! But they just didn’t feel right when wearing them, perhaps it was due to the stiff ‘not denim’ fabric?
Anyhow – I decided to turn the pants into a skirt! A skirt that I could specifically wear to work on CASUAL FRIDAY! (all my other skirts are too short…not acceptable for the office!)
I started by unpicked the inner leg seams. This was quite relaxing and didn’t take that long at all!
Breezy….
I pinned the front and back seams and then I made a big chop!
Simba approves
I the stitched the front and back seams and then hemmed the bottom edge.
All done! I’m posing…
And the back..
The back 🙂
I wore my new skirt out for the day with my amazing mother and father in law! We checked out the Guildford Book Exchange, it was awesome! I bought some sweet old school Archie /Betty and Veronica comics!
Love these!
Overall, it was a successful project and a fab day!
Thanks for reading!
