I've had this skirt for awhile now, but never really wore it....You know why? Because I didn't like the way it looked on me. It hit at an odd spot (or so I thought) and it just wasn't me. So, I decided that I had to do something about this. And this is what I did. :)
First, I measured how much I wanted to chop off the length.
Then, since I wanted it to be more of a pencil skirt, I drew a straight line down both sides. Next, I sewed along the line and trimmed off the excess.
While this skirt hemmed itself (Oh, how I wish! I hate hemming skirts....) I made cookies. Aren't I just an awesome multitasker. Ok, I'll admit that I might have messed up the cookies.
Here's the sad part. Do you see that? The cookies only have 4 ingredients! It's such a simple and delicious recipe that we keep it on the fridge at all times.... So, here's how I made my mistake. I *ehem* put 3 scoops of a 1\3 cup of brown sugar. The recipe calls for 3\4s cup. *Hangs head in shame* Surprisingly, they came out pretty decent though! Back to the skirt...
I proceeded to hem the skirt. And once that was finished, I was done!! (Considering that I was a little worried on how it would turn out, yes 2 exclamation points were necessary.) Here's the before and after. :D
(Sorry for the not so great pics, it was late at night and.... ya.....)
So, you might not be able to see the difference, but in person there's quit a nice change. Also, this is one of my new favorites!
Hope you enjoyed reading this. :) Have an awesome rest of the day!
