Refashion a Skirt into a Shirt: Lime Green edition

After refashioning my blue ruffled skirt into a shirt, I scoured my closet to see what other skirts I could transform into tops.

This lime green baby had only been worn once because I didn't like where the hemline hit my calf. "You will be a shirt!", I said.





Want to know a secret? This skirt actually used to be a dress (just like the blue skirt). So as the saying goes, 3rd time's a charm.








I took in the sides just a bit since it was pretty all around flowy. I didn't want to have a Marilyn Monroe moment when the wind blew, if you know what I mean.

Love the drapy neckline

Want to turn your own skirt into a shirt?

Here are a couple of options:

Option 1

That's how I did it.

But want another cool idea? 

One of my very smart readers suggested flipping the skirt upside down and turning the base hemline into the neckline (see guide below). Makes perfect sense!

Option 2

Unfortunately for me, I have a few skirts that no longer fit in the waist (hu hum), so this method won't work for me until I lose a few. Which, lets be honest, isn't going to happen. I keep those "special skirts" to cut up for other refashions. :)
