Tutorial: Refashioned dress with high-waisted skirt

Ady from Crafty Ady shows how she made this high-waisted skirt outfit that looks like two separate pieces but is actually one dress. She gets the look of a smart shirt tucked into a trim little skirt, but without the bulk and hassle of trying to keep the shirt tucked in. Brilliant!! The bottom half of the dress is made from a favorite skirt pattern in some Ponte Roma Knit jersey, and the top is refashioned from an existing shirt. Go to the tutorial.

As someone who lives in handmade clothes and loves a sewing project with instant gratification, I’ve fallen hard for the wrap skirt trend. Not only are wrap skirts ridiculously easy to sew (most don’t even require zippers or buttons!), but they’re also forgiving in fit and perfect for all seasons. Pair them with sandals in summer, boots in fall, or even tights in winter — these skirts work overtime in your wardrobe.

In this roundup, I’ve gathered 25 of the best wrap skirt sewing patterns and tutorials — from breezy boho styles and beachy sarongs to structured midi lengths and classic A-lines.
