Recycled Mini Skirt

I have had this red dotty dress since summer and i never wore because it just didn't look right so i can't waste good fabric.

i really liked the idea of an item of clothing tho so i cut out a waist section and 2 long sections to make a mini skirt.
with the waist band i turned down the top and bottom to make a hem and stitched it in white.

using the 2 long sections i turned up the bottoms and stitched them together and started pleating it then using some white ribbon i went around the bottom of the waist band and all i needed to do was add the zip and it was ready to wear.
