Watch my tutorial below to see how I changed this women’s size 6 pant suit into a dress appropriate for work! I cannot take credit for this refashion idea for it is the talented Miriam’s Instagram page @sewingpolarbear that I saw it and fell in love with it. I’ve made shorts/pants into skirts before but to think of using the bottom of the leg trousers to make a top piece! Genius! So thank you Miriam for your creativity! Everyone go check out her Instagram for her other amazing sewing DIY’s!
I barely used the jacket, I only took out the buttons and the wrist-ties so I have a whole jacket left that I didn’t cut up! I will be thinking of something to refashion it into, but do you have any ideas what I could make it into?

What a great after look! You are so talented!!
I would love to learn for you. Have you ever considered taking on an assistant or apprentice? I am an intermediate sewer but am not as strong in apparel. You’re finished products are incredible and I would really love to work and learn from you.
Hi, just stumbled upon your site via Littlethings.com! I do a bit of sewing diy for myself and daughter. I really like what you did with this suit; I thought it would also have been cute if just the sleeves were removed. Any plans to do something like that?
