It is that time of year again to change over to summer
clothes. My daughter had some cute
sweats that fit great this winter, but like most of her pants they ended up
with holes in the knees. I decided to
upscale one of her favorite pair of pants into a cute spring skirt.
First, cut
off the pants you are going to upscale right above the inner leg seam. Next I bought a ½ yard of the kitty fabric
(one of her favorite animals) and a ½ yard of the stripe fabric to match. Cut the
kitty fabric on the fold line to get the front and back pieces. Next, folded the stripe fabric length
wise and cut on the new fold line to get the front and back border.
With right sides together sew the one border
fabric to the front skirt piece and one to the back skirt piece. (The border fabric may be longer than the skirt front or back pieces. Cut off the extra fabric to make it even)
With right sides together match
the side seams of the front and back of the skirt and sew together.
Sew a baste stitch on the top of the
skirt. Gather. With right sides together and once again
matching side seams sew the skirt to the cut of pant top. Lastly, hem the bottom of the skirt. Now a special
little girl has her own twirlly skirt!
