Day 335: Turtleneck Skirt

May 30, 2012

I hate turtlenecks and they hate me.

I have no neck, you see.

I love tacky prints, and this one definitely fits the bill, but it just isn’t working for me as a top…and certainly not as a turtleneck top! :/

Of course, I have a plan!

First, I pinned straight along the side seams, all the way down through the sleeves.

Closing up those sleeves!

Then, I stitched those side seams down!

Whirrrrrrr!!!!

I cut off the extra side fabric, and trimmed straight across that atrosh neckline.

Making the Cut(s)! :)

Now I have a sexy new miniskirt! :)

This pose is from the “I’m trying to look sexy, but instead look like I have to pee” collection.

And here’s how the top works:

Just roll it down to make it whatever length you want! :)

Cheers! :)

Awesome re-fashion!! I have quite a few shirts in mind to do this … & I love the sandals you are wearing with the ‘new’ skirt ;)

Cute skirt – and I am totally with you there on hating turtlenecks. I’ve always thought they were itchy and didn’t like the look.

I love the skirt! I don’t like turtlenecks either because I always feel like I am choking when I wear them.
