The Over-Under Long T-Shirt Skirt

Over-Under T-Shirt Skirt

Rain Blanken
With this t-shirt skirt, the collar and sleeve seams are left intact so that you can show off the fact that the skirt used to be a t-shirt. It is also longer than most t-shirt skirts and uses the bottom hem of the t-shirt as a drawstring casing to minimize sewing!

What You'll Need:

  • A large t-shirt. It needs to be long enough to be used as a skirt.
  • scissors
  • chalk
  • straight pins
  • A shoestring or ribbon to use as a drawstring
  • safety pin
  • sewing kit or machine
Once you have all your materials handy, let's get started.
