I saw this tutorial at a new blog that I just discovered & thought to myself "why didn't I ever think of this?' 

I have a few jumpers in my closet that I don't particularly like.  It's not the jumper itself that's the problem but more my body shape.  Jumpers don't flatter me AT ALL!  I just have an odd body shape, I guess.  Bigger on the top than in the middle or on the bottom so jumpers make me look fatter than I am.  Who wants that?  NOT ME! 

Here is the one of the jumpers:

See it's not a bad jumper.  Actually it has a pretty design on it but it's just too short for my taste.  See how it comes to the middle of the bottom of my legs?  I hate that length.  I like them to be longer down to my feet!

So here is what I did:

I took the jumper and cut the top of it off just below the arm holes.

 Then I took it over to the serger & serged the edge where I just cut it.

Turned down that part of the material to the inside of the skirt to make a casing for some elastic. 

And now I have a nice skirt that reaches my feet! 

Ignore my ballerina slippers!  It's feels like winter here already even though it's still fall & my feet get cold!
