Turn an old skirt into a new one with Ruffles!

I’ve had this skirt since I was in high school; it just is not flattering on me at all…..SO I decided to fix it.

BEFORE:

First I took it in on the sides to add some curves to the skirt.

Then I cut it in half, and used the bottom for the ruffle.

I didn’t want a strait ruffle, I wanted it to go up my leg, so I drew in the triangle and then cut it out of only the front. I then made my ruffle and sewed it to the bottom.

And TaaDaa!!!!…Here’s my new skirt without paying a penny!

I’ve thought about adding a cute bow where the ruffle comes up higher on the leg….What do ya think add it or no?
