I had a maxi dress that needed to be hemmed. It was over a foot too long. When I finally got around to hemming it, I decided to make it midi-length, which gave me even more extra fabric. I also had to take it in at the sides. You can see the result of how my dress turned out in the last photo.
With all the extra fabric, I decided to make matching outfits for my girls. I made my oldest a pencil skirt that I drafted from a Lutterloh pattern. I made my youngest a dress from a pattern that was my grandmother’s. No fabric went to waste, and my girls got new outfits without spending a dime!
