Hey guys (but probably mostly gals)! Remember this frumpy sweater dress?
Come on! This wasn’t that long ago!
Some may remember how I turned the top of this sweater dress into a sweater with modern ribbon details.

I wasn’t lying when I said I had plans for that bottom leftover scrap!

Let’s turn the bottom of this sweater dress into a skirt!
This is a pretty simple one, folks. This scrap obviously wants to be a cute skirt. As I don’t have many skirts, this is what I want for it too.
I started pinning that top edge down, creating a casing.
Then, I stitched it down, making sure to leave enough space to thread some elastic through.
I grabbed a scrap of elastic salvaged from an old fitted bed sheet (every scrap is sacred!) and threaded it through.
Then, I stitched it together.
And that’s all it took to turn that sweater dress into a totally no-waste refashion!
Huzzah!
I paired my new skirt with my favorite tee (ethically made) and a refashed cardi.
I’ve been a bit down lately, so I thought channeling Julia Child was worth a go!
I’ve been making a lot of recipes from her masterpiece, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, realizing I’m not hungry, and then freezing my creations or giving them away.
At least I’m keeping busy?
Cheers!
