This week I discovered a new thrift store in my neighborhood where I scored the lace jacket above for $2.60.  I immediately decided to refashion it into a skirt.  It was way more complicated than I thought I would be, but I’m still going to share a quick summary.

After the basic alterations above, I made numerous little tweaks here and there to get a perfect fit.  I used my dress form to help me see where alterations needed to be made.  

Here are the final results.

I got together with a group of refashion bloggers to do a little online refashion party.  We all had to refashion something red.  With that one guideline, we all set to work.  Check out their projects below.
