Upcycling

Oh - I feel so green.  I needed a black skirt for Elaine to go with this blouse that I wanted her to wear with pictures with Joyce - I looked at patterns and was going to buy all the stuff and make one but couldn't find a pattern that went small enough for her waist... Then I remembered I was throwing out a skirt that was black and maybe I could use that..?

So this is what I made - it was a pencil skirt for me, and now it's a pencil skirt for Elaine.  I took the path of least resistance and it has one seam and an elastic waist.





However, I think Elaine looks like a sales lady from Macy's with it on (all she needs are some black heels and some jewelry), so I think I'm going to come up with something different for her to wear for the pictures :)
