From A Jumper To A Skirt

"Oh, are you getting rid of this jumper?"
"Yeah, you can have it if you want it!"
"Really?" Thus began the cutting and sewing! One of my sister's had made this jumper many years ago, then she gave it to another sister who tried to make it work, but it was too big and she finally decided to get rid of it! I had noticed it once before and thought it would make a cute skirt, but I didn't think much more about it, but once I saw that it was being gotten rid of my idea came to me again and this is the result!

I cut off the top and took about four inches off each side, then shortened it to a few inches below the knee! I left the original zipper in because I've never liked putting in sippers and it would have been very hard to put in a different one! The Back:

As you can see it is grey with black stripes and fits in my wardrobe beautifully! (I don't know what pattern was used for this) One of the things that I really about it is that it looks retro!
