We all have a few clothes which we really like but hardly ever use. We think of wearing them some day but that day never comes. These clothes silently sit in a corner of our almirah and take up unnecessary space. I found one such Kurta as I was scanning through my almirah yesterday. I was quite sure I'l never use it, but at the same time I really like it. So i came up with the idea of making something I'l wear using it ! Interesting na? I made a knee length skirt our of it and now I'l share the steps with you..
1. Open your almirah and scan for some Kurta which you want to use to create your skirt.
2. Decide the length of the skirt you want to create and draw a horizontal line using a chalk or crayon. This is the line over which we will cut the kurta.
3. Once we have drawn the line, cut the kurta over the line using a sharp pair of scissors. It will look something like this this:
4. The lower half of the kurta will be our skirt. We still need to do some work around it. For this, take fabric glue (Fevicryl fabric glue) and stick the sides with each other to create the skirt. If we are not comfortable using fabric glue then we can stitch up the sides using needle and thread (either hand stitch or machine stitch).
5. For the waist line of the skirt, we can either place a button or hook or we can use a thread to tie it.
And yay!! Our skirt is ready!!
That was quite simple for those of us who like re-inventing our wardrobe ourselves!!
