the flirtastic silvester skirt – a diy refashion

A hearty Happy New Year & zum neuen Jahr Gesundheit, Glück und viel Erfolg to all!

Are ya diggin’ my fabulously swing-y skirt for Silvester? (New Year’s Eve in Germany)

Create your own in a flash with a few bits from the bottom of your stash…

grab that just-doesn’t-fit-right peplum top that’s been lurking in your stash

turn it inside out and chop straight through under the arms

*and here’s my latest groovtastically simple-and-oh-comfy waistband trick:

snag a tot t-shirt a bit smaller than the width of your waist & slice it under the arms

fold the bottom bit over itself with right-sides-facing

stitch the open edges together and your awesome new waistband is complete!

Pop it over the chopped bottom of the peplum with right-sides-facing and raw edges lined up & stitch together

zig zag over the outside seam for extra strength

and your superbly swing-y skirt is done!

Add some sparkle with a vintage sequined top + shimmery quirky fox ears, slip on your dancing shoes & celebrate in style!
