How to Hem a Skirt

This skirt was a thrift find. It’s vintage. I suspect it’s from the 70s. It’s 100% pure wool and I immediately fell in love with the buttons going down the front. The original length was a little too modest for me so I hacked it off.

You can watch the video on my Youtube channel here.

Wool is a great heat insulator and ideal for colder climates but I always hated wearing wool because wool tends to be itchy and uncomfortable. However, when you pair this wool skirt with thick cotton leggings and you tuck a comfy top into the waistband you get all the benefits of the look and warmth without compromising comfort. 

Pretty happy about adding this guy to my winter wardrobe and I hope I’ve inspired you to go hack up some sad old skirts. This method could be used with dresses or pants as well. If you used this tutorial I would love to see the results! You can tag me on Instagram @blueindigobabe and if you’re not already you can follow me there to keep up with new videos and shop updates.
