Jona of Stop Staring and Start Sewing shares how she transformed this long “hippie” skirt into a breezy summer shirt.

In honor of the 40th anniversary of Woodstock I took my hippie skirt and turned it into a hippie shirt. I’ve had this skirt for probably ten years and I think I’ve actually worn it once (it ended up looking better on the hanger than on me). But I really like the look of it. The nubby fabric, the cotton crocheted lace, the ruffle. All cute. So I found a way to redeem it.
