There will always be room in fashion for cute skirts and what's better than having the satisfaction of saying you made one yourself. Well here's a quick (30 minutes) skirt that you can make from an old mans shirt. I made my skirt out of an old stripy shirt of my Dads.
You will need:
- An old, mans, shirt (the larger the shirt the more volume there will be in your skirt)
- a sewing machine (although this can be done by hand if you are ok with sewing with jersey)
- plain black, or any colour that matches that of your shirt, jersey.
- thread that matches your skirts base colour.
Instructions:
- First cut the shirt to just bellow the arms
- Then sew down the button fastenings so that the skirt won't be able to be opened by the buttons.
- Next measure your hips (or waist depending on where you want the skirt to sit) and cut out a length of jersey material that is your hip measurement in width and is about 11cm (4 inches) in height.
- Finally attach your strip of jersey to your skirt/ cut up shirt. This yoga styled waist band is better explained in my active skirt pattern.
I hope this has inspired you!
