If you have some skirts that you no longer wear because it’s too short for you, then you can simply narrow the side(s) to make it into a little girl’s skirt!
before/after:
This skirt is a side zipper so I took the other side in.
then cut the excess fabric, with enough to later alter/make it larger as the girls get older.
This skirt is a back zipper so I took both of the sides in.
This skirt is a side zipper so I took the other side in.
and didn’t cut the extra fabric off so I can alter/make it larger as my girls get older. It saves a lot of money!
What you’ll need:
-a skirt
-thread & needle or a sewing machine
-scissors
Budget: FREE
Skill level: very beginner
Estimated time: 5 mins.
