Making your own skirts just got easier!
Periodically, @mama-pepper will sew clothes for our family. Often, she enjoys making skirts for our little girls. Recently she had an idea. Couldn’t she just turn some of my t-shirts into skirts?
She came up with a simple plan and then checked online. Sure enough, other people had also thought of this idea and were succeeding at turning shirts into skirts.
@mama-pepper figured that if the top of the t-shirt was removed (the part with the sleeves and neck-hole) then by sewing an elastic band around the new top would be all that it takes to transform it into a fully functioning skirt.
@mama-pepper also decided to sew a stitch pattern at the bottom of the skirt too, just to add a little more flair to it.
In the end, Red-Pepper got a new skirt, and since I had two with this pattern, I still have one shirt left that looks like that.
Has anyone else ever tried making skirts this way? If not, will you consider trying it now?
