Maxi Skirt Refashion

I recently bought this Maxi skirt, not realizing it was a maxi skirt. In the pictures online it looked much shorter. I can't really walk in it. I was trying to decide what to do with the bottom when I came across these two pictures, so I decided to add some drawstring.



I used extra t-shirt scraps from this dress to make the 4 tubes for the drawstring (there are tubes on the inside of the skirt as well). I sewed them on before I threaded the ribbon through them and sewed up the top of the tubes. (I know, not a very good tutorial. I will expand on that if/when I make another.)

Wow, what a genius mind you have. Still stinks to have to mend something you paid for though...I'm sorry it ended up being too long, I'm 6 feet and always have the opposite problem!
