The red skirt was originally a giant shirt dress, very 90's looking - I wish I took a before pic but I was too keen to get cutting! The idea was based on this skirt and this pattern, I just cut the length I wanted using the existing buttons down the front, took it in, added a few small pleats in both sides at the front and back and attached a waistband (just measured my waist, added an inch and hoped for the best!)
I've also learnt that I'm not good at posing for photos!
...the second floral skirt is a gathered skirt made from a bedsheet! both the red dress and the sheet came from one of my frequently visited op shops, and the sheet had a great edging of little painted yellow flowers so I just used that as the hem! The idea for the pattern is from gertie's brilliant site...
The slightly blurry photo is from me trying to show off the 'swirl ability' of the skirt haha
