my engineering background hubby taught me how to use sewing machine 2 years ago. I enjoy doing a sewing project once in a while.
So my project was this this long wool skirt mom gave me years ago. I only worn it once or twice in the course of..let's see..7 years! Because long skirt has not been fashionable all these years. and since it was given by mom, i have hard time to give or donate it away.
If long skirt ever will be in trend, I still have quite a few others sit in my closet as back-ups. my hand was a little shaky when i cut the skirt though. what if it doesn't turn out well?
result is not bad at all. i did not take mod pic before i altered the skirt, but i found a mod pic from my old files featuring a similar skirt.

brilliant!! And you look hot... then you know, I don't like that long skirt look of you that much.... your DIY new skirt has my vote!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should keep that kind of look more often!!! :)
thanks Rachel. i think you are totally right - the short skirt looks better than long skirts, some girls can pull off long skirt but not me. it makes me look outdated.
ReplyDeletei just cut two more things in my closets. i will show the result soon.
btw, i was worried that i did not see you online for a long time. it turned out you were busy with your V Day party.
so great!
