How I Converted My Old Abhaya/maxi dress into a Skirt.

Salam my lovelies. Weekend is finally here and I'm all set for a new post despite being busy with sorting out my life. My schedule is so filled that it is close to being exploded. Regardless I was lucky enough to find half an hour or so to turn this old (but in good condition) Abhaya into a gorgeous skirt that I can totally wear to outdoors too.


Reqirements


It is super easy to follow and obvious! No expertise required, just the Abhaya, scissor, elastic, needle and thread and couple of beads maybe.


Steps.


  • Spread out the Abhaya on a flat surface. It should be probably ironed. Make sure there are no bumps and creases here and there.

  • Take your measurements. You can use a measuring tape or some other bottom wear that you deem fit for the measurement.

  • Mark it and cut it using your scissor.

  • To make a belt, fold at least 1 cm from the top side of the skirt. Iron it. Now fold again to about 1 inch and stitch all along, leaving a little space to put in the elastic through it.



  • After putting the elastic through it close that little opening too.

  • Affix beads on the front side of the skirt in a pattern that you love with the help of a fabric glue or needle and thread. 

  • Match it with your favorite top.
