Walter's Dress

10/30/2014

Yes I am finely getting around to posting the pictures of this dress.
I was hurrying to get this done so she could wear it the day before her birthday when she went to town with mom. So did not do things the way I would have liked to. Anyway here it is.

It was a while before we got pictures and these are not good ones but I wanted to share these.

Denim Skirt Re-make

This was a denim skirt we were given. I wore it as it was for awhile then didn't like it anymore and wanted to change it. So I ripped it out and re-made it. =)

From this..........

I ripped the skirt all apart and ironed everything. I took Simplicity's pattern 1560 and drafted my own yoke for the skirt. >>>>
I had to do some adjusting to fit this out of the old skirt but I made it work. I wound up using denim pieces from an old dress for the inside of the yoke (I lined it). I used the same belt loops from the old skirt. After sewing it all together I stitched the loops down and it was all done =) It was a while before I was able to get pictures and even longer before I got around to doing this post. The life of living in a large family.

.................to this

This skirt is very versatile, you can dress it up or dress it down. I have warn it a lot, these are just two of the many outfits I have created with this skirt. Maybe someday I will make a post with more outfits with this skirt.
