I feel like you could clip some dangly charms or tie ribbons on those waist loops on that skirt!! It came out super cute!

For the sleeves: What I like doing with my scrap fabric is making either scrunchies or bows that I attach to hair clips. That way you have a cute hair accessory that matches your outfit 😁

The waist loops halfway down the skirt actually for some reason take it to the next level. Like from just a skirt to *damn that’s a cool skirt*
And putting the waist tie and/or something else through them is ~revolutionary~
I am stealing this idea

You could use the leftover sleeves to make a wider waistband if you want!

[victoriab]

Wow, I like that dress so much better as a skirt! It was still pretty as a dress, but you made it look stunning. The longer lenght was definitely the right call, it looks great with this fabric!

[kendra]

it’s crazy how much of a difference the cherries made, it looks like an entirely new shirt!!

[mandyr]

If you attach buttons further down, you can use the belt loops to bustle up the skirt. I like to add that to a lot of my full hippie skirts

[nataie]

jaw dropped at the skirt reveal u KILLED IT! love it

[veve]

That is one stylish and skilled minion 😳 Give this one a raise, Gru!

Oh wow you had a VISION for that skirt. My mouth popped open in awe when I saw the after footage.

I often hide the knots/ends of embroidery inside the fabric itself. For an example like the towel, you could probably start by inserting the needle into the inside between the thick edging piece, and pull it out so that it's starting where you want your embroidery to start. If it works, your end should be inside the edging, and not visible from the outside. You can hide the end knot the same way. (:

you could make a waist band or pockets with the sleeves of the dress😮😮

This is a good reminder to do the thriftflips i've been procrastinating 😅

[SpaceySims]

Girl, don't feel bad about making the dress a skirt. I just did the same to two dresses I've had for years.
The dress was cute, but do whatever makes it wearable for you. (that's also why I turned my dresses into skirts 😂) 👍

My blanket stitch tip is to mark 1 cm (or however wide you want the stitch to be) on your thumb. Just using a pen or some waterproof eyeliner or something. That way you can space them out evenly and your stitches will look super neat, without having to reach for a ruler all the time!
As to the dress-turned-skirt: maybe you can use the extra fabric from the sleeves to make a wider waistband, maybe even a string to tie the waist with?

[chaantheart]

The skirt came out perfectly and suits you 🍒 Maybe you can make slip pockets or an unstructured purse with the excess sleeve fabric.

[victoriab]

For the sleeves: What I personally love to do with my scrap fabric is either matching scrunchies or matching hair bows that I later attach to hair clips.

The graphic on the ref shirt made s huge difference! The artwork is beautiful and gave me some ideas for my own home. Thanks!!

I feel like the weird side seams on the skirt look perfect for putting pockets in... Morgan donner has a great video on adding all kinds of pockets to garments.

I'm also remaking a dress into a skirt at the moment that has this amazing black silk taffeta circle skirt (so like light but sort of stiff and swooshy). The bodice was dying and was way too small for me, but my mum owned it when she was younger and it was vintage then, so I felt soooo stressed about taking it apart, but I'm glad I went for it! It was no good to anyone until I rescued it!

[ilikemakeup]

I was so sad when you went after that dress, but your vision prevails and it looks even more anazing now! The sleeve remains make such cool panel details!
Definitely would love to see more diys!
