Introducting my next WIP and a DIY transformation of a top to lovely skirt

(Edited)

Hello Sew mates and creative designers

It is another exciting Monday and am here with negative energy and vibe to mingle with everyone.
Hope our health is good and we are getting inspiration for new task.

Today I did a transformation for my top into a needed lovely Scotish skirt.

Am not sure if I can wear this at this age because only high school girl love skirt this short and in this print.
Am an old lady now 😂😂😀😆

The top is a gift that has remained in my closet for over 2years, it was way oversized and every attempted to slim fit it proved abortive, I have been looking for ways to put it into good use because I don't like giving out my gift.
I would rather gift you something else of my own rather than give out something someone else has given to me, I cherish my gifts and it will take more love to gift them out ❤😂😊.

It was an off shoulder top like

I thought it was an ordinary cut and sew where I will just cut out the sleeves but it was just one serious work, more like making a new cloth entirely.

I managed to rip off the seams, remove the sleeves reshaped everything to make a skirt.

I remember @lauramica used to make lovely skirts from her jean pants and all and I felt i could try this as well.

Cut to shape

Added elastic to gather the down part and stitched it all up.

Introducing my next wip

I guess as many of us remembers my jacket, it was a total disaster that's makes @smilestiches laugh alot but it will just be my next wip and am gonna rescue it.

I made this jacket at a time I was just learning and had no idea of many things about the collar and the likes especially.

But now I have made some lovely jackets, a bit more perfect and I feel like rescuing this very one.

The fabric is all exhausted but am gonna have to but a plain matching color velvet to make the sleeves and collars.

Why am I about making the jacket rather than just dump it.

Well I can't say for sure, one thing I love is fabrics color and pattern and even though the jacket comes out ugly in the end as a result of the mixture of different fabrics am gonna wear it at home to keep cold away.

Let's see how the velvet enters this jacket and what becomes of it in the end, I can't throw this away.

Hahaha skirts are so beautiful, nothing beats them :p I'm glad you have a new one in your closet. And regarding using it because you think you're older, in Spanish there is a song that says "age is just an attitude of the soul." So if you feel that your soul is young, let nothing stop you from wearing this outfit :p

Greetings Monica, well done with this project ❤️.

This your transformation is looking so nice and beautiful, though it's looking more like a school girl 😁😁😁😁 but I love the outcome of it, if I were you, I wouldn't mind, I will rock it within the neighbourhood, but if you can't, keep it for me, I will come for it by weekend.

Now everyone is competing over my one piece of Scottish skirt.
I should be grateful and rock it in pride henceforth.

Thanks for coming around babe.

@nkemakonam89 knows the skirt is not her size, she won't be able to rock it well the way I will.. I'm happy you've decided to wear it yourself instead of giving it out, that's a good choice you've made. Nice work dear sis.
