Skirt re-make


 
I have had this brown velvet skirt for quite a while, but rarely wear it as it is just a little too long to be ¾ and too short to be full-length (being tall I often get this).

So I cut the lining off another old skirt and attached it to the inside, then folded the hem of the brown skirt up beneath and attached it to the lining, creating a bubble hem (WAY easy!) 

Still not quite satisfied, I hitched up the front of the skirt a-la-Victorian, and was quite pleased with how it turned out!


 I turned it inside out to take a photo of the bubble hem, then discovered it works even better inside-out (good thing I sewed the lining on wrong-side to wrong-side so no seams are visable). GENIUS? I think so.
