Repurposing A Skirt


The blouse I still have hanging in my closet (pic above), the skirt I repurposed and used to accent the wreath you see below.



I’ve had this wreath on my door since November. It’s nice to hang something that isn’t too seasonal so it can stay up beyond Christmas. I’ll probably take it down in a few weeks but did you notice the wreath and the shirt have the same red fabric?

A generous neighbor gave me this lovely two piece outfit (skirt and shirt set) but the waistband on the skirt was too tight! I could wear it if I sucked in my tummy… but then I’d probably turn blue and pass out after a minute of torturing myself. The top fits me fine and is hanging in my closet. Anyway, the skirt got tossed in a not sure what to do with pile…

After gluing on the burlap and first fabric layer as I was making this wreath I felt like it needed something more...some color perhaps?  As I was looking around for the right something I saw that pile of clothes that I wasn't sure what to do with... when the red skirt caught my eye.

Need I say more…except that I’ve been enjoying the wreath for months now hanging on my door!
