| This top was given to me by a friend as it was too big for her, and thus for me, but being as creative as one is, I decided to make something of it! |
 |
I cut the sleevey section off, leaving just a circle of fabric
 |
 |
| Along the dotted line, I turned the fabric over twice and made a hollow hem, without sealing off the ends. |
 |
| I machine stitched the hem. |
 |
| Taking a piece of elastic that fits around my waist, I put a hairpin on the end so that I could thread it through the hem easily. |
 |
| I tied a knot in the elastic and pulled it tight to my waist. |
 |
| I could have left it the way it was as an a-line skirt, but I decided to turn it into a bubble/pumpkin skirt, or whatever you want to call it. I did this by sewing a large dart into both sides of the skirt, or I could have made several smaller darts. |
 |
| Et Voila, a one-of-a-kind bubble skirt, handmade and cheap! |
