Today’s skirt began looking like this:

T’was a big wrinkly linen mess. As it is freakishly hot here in SC, I removed some of that length. My legs needed a bit more breathing room!

Next, I hemmed my skirt by folding it under twice and pinning it.

Next, I ran my new hem through my machine, which was freshly loaded with a happy Kelly Green thread.

While shortening the skirt really did make quite a difference, I thought this skirt needed a bit more panache. I removed a pocket from a damaged pair of Lily Pulitzer pants that I have lurking in my stash.

I pinned it to my skirt, and then put it through my machine, sewing around the edge.

I think my new skirt is much improved, don’t you?


Cheers!
