Thanks to Pinterest I have had many crafts on my to-do list. My latest inspiration was to take old clothes or items I don't wear anymore and make them into something new. I have re-fashioned 2 items so far and have loved the outcome!
The first was an old pair of AE capris. I really liked how they fit and they were comfy but the length of the capri was really awkward so I never wore them. Instead of capris, I made them into bermuda shorts. Luckily raw-edge jeans are in style so I didn't have to sew at all. All I did was cut them off at a good length for me and rolled them up. Wallah!

The other item was an older maxi dress I had. As many of you know I am a bit of a giant so after about 1 wear this maxi dress became too short. So.....I cut off the top of the dress. I then measured my natural waist and sewed on a thick elastic waistband. Now I have a cute maxi skirt!
