I loved the fabric, but it was too big and not very flattering at all. I thought about keeping the gathered waist and just taking it in some on the sides. Then I looked at the skirts in my closet that I actually wear and realized I need to make it more fitted. I used a skirt from my closet to make the pattern and even put in an invisible zipper. I also used the existing lining for the lining of the skirt.
It is far from perfect, but at least it is wearable.
Happy Crafty Tuesday everyone.

Great job! It looks great on you, too. Sometimes you just want to take the easy path, but really...if you aren't going to wear it that way it's just not worth it. Glad you took the time to make it the way you need it to be for it to be wearable. :)
Can't wait to see more of your refashion projects. :)
AWE-SOME! I love it...how very cool are you? I have two shirts/skirts to refashion for the girls, I hope to get to before the shirts go out of style!
I wish I could do this! Great job, I think it look fabulous on you and much prettier as a skirt.
I'd say you did a darn good job! A very functional refashion, and you are looking hot, my friend!
WOW! I think is so pretty. You make me want to start wearing skirts and dresses again. I haven't for 8 years.
Great job! I wish I had more experience sewing/altering clothes. I have a ton of stuff I don't wear but can't bear to throw out!
Love it! You look adorb! What a great refashion idea. ;)
