....I got another humongous skirt off the clearance rack at the local K-Mart for a quarter again. This one didn't have a size tag and it seriously goes around my waist twice...
...so I got out my trusty seam ripper and took the elastic out - which is annoyingly sewn into the seam...
Then I resized the elastic ...
...and pinned it at each seam...
...then I stretched the opening the other way and pinned again at the front and back center. Since this had already been stitched once it was quite easy to turn under the waistband and stretch the elastic in between the pins...
...then I found another Jaclyn Smith dress on clearance (not for a quarter - this one was $5.99) and I'm sure it's supposed to be a short dress...
...but it was already my size and I'm going to wear it as a tunic over the skirt...
...and I'm playing Easter Sunday again - so I'm sure to be a nervous wreck and I need to spend all my spare time practicing so there will be no Easter sweater this year - I have a couple of cardigans in the queue 'tho...
Great combination. Looks like they were made for each other. E
