How to Turn a T-Shirt into a Skirt

By Rain Blanken, About.com Guide

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 [recommended 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.
