Project 5: Flower Skirt

This isn't a terrible piece to start with. The waistband fits and the print is cute. However, the skirt is just a little bland. There isn't anything that really pops on this skirt and makes it memorable.

So I decided to buy some lace at Wal-Mart to add trim to the top of the pockets that I was adding to give this skirt the pinch of pazazz it was missing!

Step 1: Cut off 19 inches from the bottom

Step 2: Hem the bottom

Step 3: Cut two 6 x 6 inch squares from the cut off section using a ruler and a tracing pencil

Step 4: Press the squares over 1/2" on the the sides and bottom and 1" over on the top

Step 5: Fit the lace trim to the top of the pockets and sew on

Step 6: Sew on the pockets

The finished product:

Now this is a memorable skirt! I LOVE the lace trim, and with the extra trim I have, I was going to make a copycat headband that i saw at PacSun and a similar one at Aerie as well!
