In the last post, I mentioned that I had been given two robes and shared how I repurposed and recycled one of them. In this post, I'm going to show you what I did with the second one.
It is also flannel and the pattern made me think of the little house on the prairie style ... so that's what I went with ... I knew I had the perfect pair of boots to go with whatever design I came up with, so I took those boots into consideration as well!
Just like in the last 'robe' I cut it off right under the buttons giving me enough of the rest of the garment to stitch into a skirt. All I did was make a casing for the elastic, inserted the elastic and stitched closed the opening.
Here's how I styled it. I knew I wanted to play upon the ruffled 'hem' so went to my closet to see what I had that would create the 'prairie' look I wanted. This top was the perfect color, soft pink, plus it complimented the style of the skirt.
Next, I pulled out my 'cowgirl' boots and the look was complete!
I have thoroughly enjoyed recycling the two robes I was given into something I would wear! I hope seeing what I was able to do will inspire you to take a more serious look at recycling and repurposing what you have and or are given.
