Refasion: shirt to Lydia's skirt

 I had this shirt that someone gave me that I wouldn't ever wear, but loved the fabric. I thought it would make a fun skirt. Luckily, Lydia would wear a skirt everyday if she could. I cut off the top, making sure to leave enough fabric for a skirt for L.
 I gathered the top.
 Then I put on this elastic that I bought on Pick your Plum. It was a little difficult to work with, or at least I had never done it before. I had to go over it a couple times because the gathers kept sneaking out.
I didn't even have to hem it.
 She loves it. It took a half hour. It was free. Success.
