KCW: upcycled skirts & and pair of leggings

Kids CLothes Week-upcycled striped skirt

I’m kinda in love with this one because it was SOOOOOO easy.

I had this adorable striped skirt that my bestie had given me, but alas it was too long because I am a shortie.

But I loved the fabric and the way the stripes played off of each other.

So this one I just chopped it off at about 15″ long, then folded over the top to create a wasitband.

(I serged it but you could also fold over 1/4″ and then again for however wide your elastic is-see my skirt tutorial here that is basically what I did!)

the skirt was already pieced together in such an interesting way-I flippin’ love it!

Shirt is from a previous KCW, fittingly.

and for good measure, I whipped another one up.

Isn’t that fabric sweet? this is from another skirt I thrifted-wore it a few times but it fit weird so I gave it up to it’s new life as a smaller, cuter skirt for Sadie.

Keep an eye out for another top featuring the top part of this skirt!

coincidentally, I don’t have before shots of either of these skirts.

basically they look about the same, only larger.

I also sewed up one pair of leggings which I feel like I should just add to the skirt post instead of writing it’s own since I would pretty much just say:

Here’s another pair of Go to Leggings. It’s an awesome pattern. So awesome it has it’s own tag on my blog.

Nuff said

Just kidding I thought of more to say.

I bought this knit pencil skirt at Forever 21 years ago and I don’t think I ever wore it!

let’s just say, I am not curvy so pencil skirts don’t do anything for me…

It worked out perfectly for leggings for Ms C! Like, PERFECTLY.

I just eeked out these 4T leggings from the skirt. Meant to be!

Also, no hemming. woot!
