Recycling work: sewing summer skirt from old short

                                                                                             

Here's how I turned them into a skirt:



First I cut the snaps out of the crotch. front and back.

Next I folded them as pictured above. Then I cut them so it was a straight line from the zipper down to the hem.

When you unfold them you will have a upside down v cut.

Next I laid the skirt over a piece of scrap sheets and marked the opening on the sheet.

Now you are going to cut about 1/2" outside the line you drew.

Cut pieces of crochet trim so they fit the length of the fabric scrap.

Sew the crochet trim to the triangle fabric.

As you can see there is extra hanging out past the fabric.

Cut the extra off.

Now it should look like this.

Next pin it to the gauchos so it fits in the inverted v as pictured above.

Sew. I sewed two lines to make ot match the hem.

Now she has a pretty skirt for this spring and summer!
