Shortening a skirt - and making a headband!

I love altering my clothing so that it fits who I am.

I had a lovely skirt that was a bit tooooooo long so I decided to shorten it.

Because the skirt had a patterned bottom, I decided to cut off the waistband instead and make it elasticated.

This left me a fabulous looking waistband which matched the skirt perfectly.  I couldn't possibly throw it away!

So I turned it into a matching headband!
