DIY Button Up Skirt | Revamping

Hello! It's Pachia and I'm back with a DIY after a few thousand years. This time it is a Button Up Skirt inspired from the AA skirts. Hope you guys enjoy! Also, don't forget to check out my YouTube. I've been trying to upload regularly so go check for recent videos here. 

I went to my local Salvation Army and picked up this Denim Button Up Skirt.

As you can see, it isn't the most trendy thing right now, so I decided to make it look trendy. To do that, I measured out how long I wanted the new skirt to be.

I measured the length I wanted to be around 17 inches. I went ahead and marked 17 inches down from the waistband so that I can get an even cut around the skirt. After marking it, I went ahead and cut through the black marks I made.

This is how it turned out after I cut it.

Then, I hemmed the bottom of the skirt. Using a serger, I made the hem nice and flat before folding it in to sew.

 I folded the hem about half an inch and sewed it down with a yellow thread.

How it looks on the inside.

How it looks on the outside.

 I went ahead and sewed down another line next to the first one.

The skirt is done after hemming!

Thank you and I hope you guys enjoyed it!
