About the design
Raise a hand if you’ve ever bought a charity shop piece in the wrong size because you’re smitten with the fabric, vowed to ‘do something’ with it and then let it flounder in the back of the cupboard? Yep, us too. This project’s here to help you work fairy godmother magic on those overlooked garments at long last.
With the simplest of sewing techniques, an oversized dress can emerge anew as a swishy gathered skirt. And once you’ve got the basics down you’ll be dreaming up all kinds of ways to transform your thrifted finds, resulting in a more thoughtful wardrobe and no excuse not to rock second-hand. Everybody wins.
This pattern is designed by Liz Bryson and was first published in Mollie Makes magazine issue 103.
