Grandma Skirt Alteration

The grandma skirt, basically anything that is floral and calf length. The best part about them? They can be found and practically ANY thrift store at ANY given time. If you are looking for a great skirt, grab one that fits and let's make it work.

Here are my inspiration pics from skirts found at Modcloth.com

This is so easy to do! Unfortunately I do not have a before picture because this was before I thought of this wonderful blog. However, you can pretty much just picture it about 4 inches longer.

Now you have a fashionable comfy outfit so a hot summer day. The skirt is long enough that you don't have to worry about it all day, and you can put it over any ole tee. Then just do a classic 60's ponytail and you look like you are just naturally fashionable, which you are.

The easiest way to hem this up is to hand sew a hidden stitch. If this reference just blew your mind, here is a video to show you how to do it! She is really easy to understand, especially for you beginners. Learn something new today.
