This is by far one of my favorite DIYs, and you can achieve it without a sewing machine.</p><p>You will need:<br /> 1. Maxi Skirt OR Large, ill-fitting skirt<br /> 2. Safety pins (not stick pins)<br /> 3. Scissors<br /> 3. Needle and Thread OR Sewing Machine OR Stitch Witchery (For hemming edges)</p><p>Step 1:<br /> Cut the skirt to the length you&#8217;d like. Just make sure you have enough for your top. Hem the bottom to give it a more refined look. You&#8217;re done with the skirt. Whoop!<br /> <img src="http://freshlygiven.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/freshlygiven-diy-dress-greece.jpg" alt="freshlygiven-diy-maxi-skirt-dress-greece" title="freshlygiven-diy-dress-greece"/></p><p>Step 2:<br /> Using the bottom half of the original skirt, open the split (if you have one) or one of the seams. If you have neither, cut open the skirt and make sure to hem those edges.</p><p><img src="http://freshlygiven.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/freshlygiven-diy-dress-greece-2.jpg" alt="freshlygiven-diy-maxi-skirt-dress-greece" title="freshlygiven-diy-dress-greece"/></p><p>Step 3:<br /> Using the panel of fabric you now have, pin two edges at your shoulder blade. The rest will drape around your lovely form. Take your other safety pins and pin the top to your liking. Get creative, just cover up those boobs.</p><p><img src="http://freshlygiven.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/freshlygiven-diy-dress-greece-5.jpg" alt="freshlygiven-diy-maxi-skirt-dress-greece" title="freshlygiven-diy-dress-greece"/></p><p>You&#8217;re done!</p><p>&#8212;<br /> Original Skirt: Grandma&#8217;s closet find<br /> Leather Bracelet : <a href="http://www.shop.freshlygiven.com" title="Shop | Freshly Given" target="_blank">Shop Freshly Given</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://freshlygiven.com/blog/diy/diy-greek-style-top-and-cute-skirt/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
