Recently Craftzine featured this long-dress to short-dress tutorial from Project Runway alum and Threadbanger guest Diana Eng.  She writes, "Summer 2008 was the summer of the maxi dress, sweet and long, with a full, feminine skirt...But now what's a gal to do in summer 2009 when flirty, short skirts and mini dresses are the new trend?" Like any budget-minded crafty girl, she takes to the scissors and sewing machine and shows us how to turn a full length skirt into something more revealing (plus it can be converted back!)  

Read the full and easy tutorial here (Above is step 2)!  All you need is the long dress, a friend or body form, some pins and that sewing machine!
