T-shirt Skirts

Have a few old Tshirts with interesting images on the front or back? You can easily make them into groovy skirts.  I've been making tons.  Once the pattern is made, you can knock one of these out in less than an hour. You will need 2 tee shirts.  Nice to have but not essential: a serger, rotary cutter, cutting mat.

This is my attempt at a tutorial...

Make yourself a pattern out of a folded piece of newspaper or something else (I like to use cheap plastic tablecloths because you can see through them). The dimensions for this pattern will give you a skirt sized small-ish, good for hips up to about 38 inches.  The length is about 20 inches, give or take.

Unfold the paper, and lay your pattern out flat on a large Tshirt. If your Tshirt is too small,  you will have to sew extra on the sides.... But it's all good.

After you've cut out these 2 main pieces (front & back of your skirt), take another t shirt and cut according to the diagram below.... You will see that all my strips are different colors, it's because I cut up a lot of different shits, so I have lots of random strips.  When sewing, go right along the edge... No more than 1/2 inch seam allowance is provided!
