NEW white pencil skirt from an OLD white turtleneck

Jan 24, 2011

 i have this great little  charcoal stretch cotton pencil skirt from Forever21 (where else) its totally fabulous and i am constantly wearing it.. has no zippers or buttons... so i thought, maybe i could make my own little army of stretchy cotton pencil skirts in every color.. i think i NEED  at least the basic colors... so i started with white...

 i found a super ugly white men's turtleneck straight out of the early 90's.... 
perfect.

 the perfect part is that those old school turtle necks were made with super thick stretch fabric, the kind you can't see through...
 so i cut off the neck from shoulder to shoulder and slipped it on upside down.
then i safety pinned it to fit exactly ( i made mine slightly high waisted so i needed to taper the waist quite a bit)
carefully take it off and stitch up the sides
try it on and make sure its the perfect fit and take it in as needed( i had to do this twice)
do your hem last! (i learned this the hard way!)
TADA! 
Easiest skirt EVER {and possibly the cheapest!}
don't you need an army of these too?
