Day 12: Jilly Pocket Skirt
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!

I be you could use shoulder pads as cute little shallow pockets… Hm…. 🙂

You have brilliant ideas of transforming new outfits like what you did with the Ladies Skirt.

Amazing the extra pizazz to the skirt by adding the pocket-and women’t clothes are mostly very lacking in pockets-so extra bonus to add one!

Much improved indeed and I love the contrast thread and pocket.
