Countdown to Refashioning

My two month stint with Wardrobe Refashion starts in four days. If you aren't familiar with WR, you can read the rules at this link. Until then, I give you some previous refashions!

I found this skirt at a thrift shop a couple of years ago. It was orginally a reversible wrap skirt for someone really really skinny, but I bought it anyway, because I loved the fabric. It languished in my To-Do Pile, waiting to be made into a handbag. Then one day I realized that, even though I'd never be skinny enough to wear it as a wrap skirt, it did reach around me and overlap enough to be worn as a skirt, as long as I could fasten it in a different way.

First I removed the original binding (and therefore the ties which were made from the binding) from around the edges. It was very worn out and frayed anyway--this must have been someone's favorite skirt! Then I just sewed on new binding, made some buttonholes, and added buttons. Now when I'm thrifting, I look at wrap skirts in a whole different way!
