Mama Reworks It!: A Gypsy in a Short Skirt

Once upon a time, I loved this skirt. 
I wore it a lot while I was pg. 
( pg: How my mother-in-law indicates pregnancy, usually in a hushed whisper.)
After giving birth, I was suddenly aware that it was way too short for a long skirt. 
Think this sudden realization had something to do with being able to see my feet again? 
Gosh, I wonder who all I grossed out by unknowingly exposing my pregnant/bloated ankles? 
You know what you people can do RIGHT??
Look away. 
That's right. Just. look. away. if it bothers you so much. 
Gosh. Some people.

But I loved the skirt so much, I couldn't bring myself to get rid of it. 
But I never wore it. 
Sound familiar? 
I finally came to my senses and just cut it in half.  
What did I have to lose? 
(One long, but not long enough skirt, that I never wore.)

Then, I hemmed it, which was pretty easy since the skirt came with built in straight lines (see above).
And now, I love it enough to actually put it on! 
 Chuck has declared this skirt, paired with a fitted white t-shirt, his "favorite outfit" for me.
Only now, I can never wear it because my Mathews County water has turned all of my white shirts orange.
More on that maddening reality in a future post.

    Love it..the pattern is awesome! I might try doing that with one skirt I found thrift storing that I loved until I got it home and realized it hit at that unflattering mid-calf length...and it has built in straight lines, hmmm...I see a project for the rainy day tomorrow forming since today was baking day.
