Re fashioned denim skirts
Posted on 24 June 2010
Not far from where I live is a thrift shop that has a regular clothing sale once a month where everything is $1 each. I’ve only been twice, and come home each time with a huge bag full of clothes to be refashioned. I’ve promised myself to stay away until all the work has been done!
On my first visit I found a couple of long denim skirts, you know, those button up ones people used to wear like 10-20 years ago? And they still had tags on them!
I liked the colours but the style was really dodgy and crying out for a makeover.
This is the first one, yellow.
I gave it a chop and hot glued some flower shaped bling onto the buttons. I put two rows of stitching near the bottom edge and left the hem to fray.
Here is the second one, peach.
This time I shortened it and added some lace at the hem as well as some more bling for the buttons.
I like the length much better now, and the high waist style is cute. However I am not to sure about those plastic flowers I glued on to the buttons. What do you think?
Here’s a close up
