Recently I was at the thrift store and I feel in love with a mumu. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would say, let alone type that sentence. I mean mumus are what my Grandma wears....
no offense GG. I've never seen anyone rock a mumu like you:) But on my last thrift store trip, I saw this bow perfection of a mumu. I mean some lady was looking mighty good in her bow inspired frock. The fabric print was just too fun! I snatched it up and brought this gem home. I saw it as a dress first, but to be honest I was too excited and didn't want to wait, so I made a skirt instead. Simple Elastic skirts are quick, easy projects. I finished this in under 30 mins.
I cut the top part off of my mumu. I took it in on the sides (so my skirt wouldn't be so poofy) and added a casing for the elastic waistband. I did the grown up version of
this skirt. It was super easy and I am in love with my
Tied With a Bow Skirt. What re-purposing have you all been up to lately?

That is such a cute outfit. I've been meaning to get into sewing, even bought a pattern and fabric. But I'm a bit intimidated so I'll definitely be checking out your tutorials!
ReplyDeleteCute! I get so inspired by refashion projects! The only thing I've been able to convince myself I have time for is turning an old fleece into my kiddos new Monster costume. I'm new to Instagram, but I shared a sneak peek there http://instagram.com/p/eqsxJ1Hyjp/
