Day 67: Pop Festival Dress
Today’s piece started out as a perfectly fine Hippie Skirt.
It’s not bad at all…
But in case you haven’t noticed, I have a hard time wearing anything how it’s intended to be worn. 🙂
I took this skirt and put in on my dress form, upside-down and inside-out. I pinned it where I wanted to new shoulders to be, and a bit further down each side to make peekaboo batwing sleeves. 🙂
Peek A Boo!
Next, I ran the pin parts through my machine to stitch them down.
It only takes a few stitches…you could even do this by hand. 🙂
Now I have a perfectly light and comfy dress to wear for this:
I work hard, so I play hard! 🙂
Whaddya think?
Ready for some awesome music!
Here’s a close-up of those sleeves! 🙂
Easy-Peasy Batwing Sleeves! 🙂

This is a keeper! What a creative idea. I must start picturing skirts upside down. Great job.
Thanks! It’s so easy to do! And if you change your mind and want a skirt again, you can just seam rip out the stitches. 🙂
Very clever and sooo creative. Would never have thought of doing this. Am now going to look in the wardrobe for all my skirts that could be turned upside down!
Absolutely! Change ‘em up! I can just picture you in some cute skirt dresses in Spain! 🙂
Wow, love this makeover! This is too cute and the sleeves came out great.
