Everyone loves maxi skirts. They're even better when they're made from old dresses! Here is how to make a maxi skirt from an old dress.
Steps
- Get rid of the top part of the old dress using some scissors. The top part is right beneath the armholes.
- Choose what place you wish to have the waistband, and put one pin approximately 1 1/2 in. over that place. Then remove the extra parts of the top part using scissors.
- Reverse the skirt and downfold the part of it that is over the waistband. Once that has been done, use a flatiron to press it.
- Stitch the waistband. Keep an aperture of waistband that is unstitched, where the rubber will enter.
- Connect the stitched rubber to a safety pin, and then connect to the waistband. Touch and handle the other ending work of the stitched rubber. Once this is done, stitch both ends of the piece of rubber by working them beneath the machine a couple of rounds.
- Press the completed rubber beneath the aperture and stitch the casing hole until it is shut completely.
- Finished.
