Tablecloth to Skirt

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I wanted to make a circle skirt from this round tablecloth. It was so easy and fast. 

Before and after.

I cut a circle in the center of the tablecloth. I tried to make this hole in the exact center so that the skirt would be even all around.

I made an elastic waistband and attached it to the skirt. 

This only took about half an hour to finish. Go get a tablecloth! You're going to love this. For more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.

Dress to Tie-Front Top

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I can't wait for spring to arrive. I want warm weather and floral fabric. I can't control the weather but I can choose my fabric. I loved the floral linen of this dress. 

Before and after. 

I used the skirt of this dress for a pillow because I wanted floral bedding. That means I only had the top of the dress. 

I removed the nylon lining from the top. 

I also removed the zipper that was in the back of the dress. 

I hemmed all the cut edges. And added ties where the zipper was. 

I wore it backwards with the ties in front. Thanks for reading along, for more details go to I Can Work With That.

Low-rise Pants to Cargo Skirt

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I saw a cargo skirt at a shop and was inspired to make one. I started with a pair of linen pants. 

Before and after.

The first thing I did was repair the front where the seam had come apart. 

I cut the jeans open in the center seam.

I pinned them together to make skirt shape. I sewed all the way up the back to remove that curved center seam. 

I made the waist smaller by cutting the side seam open and pulling the back section over the front. 
 
I used a zigzag stitch to cover that cut edge. This skirt was getting a very utilitarian look and I was loving it. I thought this would be great for hiking.
 
You know what else is great for hiking? Pockets. I used the bottom of the pant legs to make 2 pockets.
 
I hemmed the skirt to my chosen length and now it has plenty of pockets for hiking snacks. For more pictures and how-to details go to I Can Work With That.
