Shark Tank Skirt

When a friend gave me this boring sweater tank, I held on to it for a while.  “Meh…it’ll be okay for work.” (transl. :  “This is really boring!”), I thought.  Of course, I really don’t dress like a proper grownup at work, so this boring tank went completely unworn.  :/

I recently scored a sweet sequined tank that didn’t work with anything in my wardrobe, so I decided to turn this tank into a cute miniskirt to pair it with!  🙂

First, I made a big chop, with the help of Mr. Spock!

Then, I pinned that top raw edge under twice…

and stitched it down, leaving a small gap at the end.

I took a length of elastic and threaded it through the gap into the casing.

Then, I stitched it together!

And that’s all it takes to make a quick & cute miniskirt from an unwanted tank top!  🙂

You can’t really tell what to top of my skirt looks like with that long sparkly tank over it, so here’s a closer look!

I wore my cute new skirt to a fun party with friends.  For some reason we all piled into the bathroom (what???) to snap a pic! 🙂

Such a fun time!  🙂

Cheers!
