I picked up this vintage skirt at a bag sale. I think I paid $4 for the bag and I ended up with about a dozen items, so i paid less than .50 for this beauty!!
The length of this skirt was all wrong, but I'm a sucker for polka dots!! I compared it to one of my favorite skirts and decided that I would shorten the hem to match.
At first, I was going to take the time to measure for a new hem, cut off the excess and try my hand at "nice" hem. Then I realized that was way too much work!! I simply fold up the existing hem twice, iron, pin, and hem. Sooooooo much simpler!!
I am all for revamps and if they are as simple as this, I could do them all day long!! Once I got started, this project took only 30 minutes!!
What a difference a hem line makes!! I also quickly moved the button at the waist band as well, so I could breathe a bit easier!!
