I acquired this top when my sister was having a clear out ages ago.
This summer has been the exception so far though, glorious sunshine for 3 weeks now and it is not looking to end soon so the top has been brought out of its 2 years hibermation in a suitcase under the bed ready to be made in to a skirt.
I cut off the straps, re stitched the band at the top that was now the waist band, then took in the waist a little and I had a fab new skirt with ready made button closure!
One of my favourite summer skirts now. Long may the sunny weather continue!
Linking to some of these fab parties!
What a great idea! I bet you're glad you'd saved it for all that time - this weather is glorious!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. Gorgeous colour!
ReplyDeleteReally fab idea - I have just been given a top that is a bit too big, this would be perfect! Thanks for the inspiration! Yours looks great on and such a perfect summery colour!

That's so funny it looks more like a skirt than a top, even before the refashion! It's worked really well.
