My favorite Recycled Skirt

This is my favorite recycled skirt. I love it because it is so light and airy, plus it is roomy enough for my long stride. I got it at the thrift store for a few dollars and altered it to my tastes. First I got rid of the draw-string waist, which I hate because the knot or bow shows beneath your shirts, and I replaced it by running elastic through the draw opening instead. Then I added a side-seam pocket to one side to hold my reading glasses. I searched on the web for "How to sew a side-seam pocket", and just followed the directions. I like this skirt so much that I think I will make a pattern from it and make myself another one!
