Julie-k created this pretty skirt for her daughter out of a beloved, but outgrown, dress. By cutting it in two and turning it into a twirly skirt, she was able to extend the life of the garment. This refashioning method is not limited to children’s clothing, either. I have done something similar with a loose high-waisted patio dress, turning last decade’s fashions into this year’s hippie skirt. Go to the tutorial.
