This brown skirt fit well but was just too dang short to wear to work. I'm learning to sew and had some leftover blue shantung silk from a DIY headboard project, so I just figured I'd tack it on to extend the skirt.
It was a low-risk move because although I'm a novice seamstress and had a high probability of completely bungling this, the brown skirt was only $1 at my local Out of the Closet. And I wasn't wearing it anyway.
I did have a little misalignment on where the seams meet, so I made a little flower from more of the silk and just pinned it on there.
Tah dah! Now let's just hope that it doesn't all unravel in the wash ...
