Sewing pattern: Maxi skirt refashion

June 27, 2019 by Anne Weaver

See how to turn a frumpy maxi dress into a modern maxi skirt with this sewing & stamping tutorial by Swoodson Says! This is a great beginner sewing project and can be done in a single night.  Maxi skirts take a lot of fabric so buying fabric at the fabric store would be expensive, but you can usually find a long dress at a thrift store for just a few dollars. 

Are you tired of outdated fashion pieces gathering dust in your closet? Don’t worry, because we’ve got an exciting project for you that will breathe new life into your wardrobe! In this tutorial, they show you how to transform a dated mother-of-the-bride outfit into a chic and fashionable maxi skirt. By following our step-by-step instructions and getting a little creative, you’ll have a stunning skirt that’s sure to turn heads.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
