Upcycled "Minnie" Skirt

A friend of mine gave us a huge bag of dresses.  We love hand-me-downs.

While trying on the dresses we found this one.  E didn't love it but

I loved the material...It was screaming "Minnie" skirt!

 First off I cut off the flowers at the bottom using the shape of the skirt.

Like this...

 After measuring the length that I wanted I cut off the top part of the skirt.

Like I did on the bottom.

 I then hemmed the bottom of the skirt.

 Next, I added wide elastic that fit E's waist measurement.
I pulled on the elastic as I sewed it so it gathered at the waist of the skirt.

 So easy and I loved how it turned out!

Look at those muscles!!!

I found this in Downtown Disney.  Isn't it so cute? 

Another project!
