Stripes and Pockets – Refashion #1
May 7, 2012
This skirt came in handy during pregnancy as a skirt…
…and as a dress.
It got some use after pregnancy, too…
…but in the end, there was just way too much fabric for me! All I did was chop off a few inches…hem…and voila! A new skirt!
The new length is much more flattering, don’t ya think?
This skirt has been sitting in my “to-do” pile for quite some time…and it felt great to finally hem it! With a thick waist band, micro-stripes, and pockets…this skirt will be a favorite for summer!
Tomorrow I’ll show you a pink skirt that I found and hemmed! I love taking thrifted pieces and bringing them into some kind of current form!

Good job with the hemming! I loved it as a dress when you were pregnant, and I love the new length!
Thanks, Mandy!
lovely post!
That shirt is so cute short!
That skirt is so fun! Love how you shortened it. Perfect for summer!
Thanks, Alicia!
I love the new length. Longer was great for the baby belly, but I love the shorter length for you now.
I love the skirt! It looks great!
Wow, I love the transformation! I need to start thinking about how to re-use my pregnancy stuff rather than just putting it away in boxes. Great job!
So true! Those maternity clothes only get worn for a short amount of time…better to do something with it!
I love it’s latest reincarnation with the stripes!
amazing refashion, i’m inspired.
I too thought you wore that skirt very well during pregnancy. Way to get more use out of that skirt with a shorter hem!
I love all the ways that you re-created this skirt. Very creative and innovative.
