From Skirt to Shirt

Yep, another remake. This one was a super fast job! :)

This past weekend we attended the wedding of our good friend, Grant. Grant is my "rent-a-brother", as we like so say, since Kathryn and I have no brothers, the Strand boys became our "rent-a-brothers". It was a very joyous occasion, and we had a great time, but we were very very tired by the end, since Dad and I played the music for the ceremony, Mom ran various errands, and Kathryn was the photographer.

Sunday we all took naps and woke up still pretty exhausted.

And Monday I went with some friends to Six Flags, and walked around all day and went on roller coasters, and generally made myself even more exhausted (but is was sooo worth it! :)

All that to say, the past few days have been "recovery time", and rather un-productive. Yesterday, I just really needed a simple, relaxing project, so I pulled out this skirt from my grandma, and whipped it into a shirt. All in all, it took me about an hour. Perfect way to relax, and still get something done!

Before. Just a knit, drawstring skirt.

After - a comfy summer shirt

Back seams - those seams were the original seam down the center back of the skirt

Scrunchy, flowery design. I think I saw this on Pinterest....

More bedroom photos will be coming soon - all the painting is done, and now I need to get to work on the floor. As I said, not much has been done recently with the wedding! :) And I hope to also work on another remake of an old linen dress.... we'll see what that turns into! :) For now, here's a picture of my puppy:

See ya'll later!
