Welcome to Refashion Revision where I take outdated clothes and turn it into new.

In this episode I’ll be turning these black and white trousers that have been sitting in my closet for 4 years, into a detachable overall skirt.

For this project you’ll need:

  • 5-6 buttons for the inside of the waistband
  • sewing needle
  • matching thread
  • safety pin
  • 2 buttons for outside the waistband
  • scissors
  • seam ripper

 

Project cost: $4 for the buttons

Estimated time: 2.5 hours

Skill level: intermediate

 

Did you see my new wedding ring I got for our 10-year anniversary? For those that asked, they are from www.marctarian.com, it’s a gold rose ring with a 8x10mm gemstone of pink morganite.  I love it so much!

Do you like the buttons I switched to? I feel since the size is smaller and it’s a matte instead of shiny, it blended with the overall skirt more and wasn’t so distracting as the other one. What do you think?
