Lace & Turquoise

1.  This was an odd piece of fabric that I've had for quite some time. I made a simple fold at the top and inserted 3/4 elastic. The whole fabric piece was a solid tube... I don't know if that makes sense, but there's no seams along the sides.
2.  This shirt is adorable, but it's always been on the little-too-baggy-for-what-I'm-going-for side of style. I took the sides in (about 2 inches on each side!) to make the whole top more snug and form fitting.
3. The shoulders were always a little funky. The seam was way too far down on the arm, so I cut the shirt at the red line mark, curving the scissor cut to form the arm again and simple raised the sleeve. I liked the sleeve length so I left it as it was.

The finished product makes me happy :) I love that I now have a high wasted skirt that rests right above my feet. I have a couple different belts that I can swap out. The shirt's adjustment is also so much nicer, it's nice and snug.
