Ok, here’s my own tutorial for making a skirt from old t-shirts. Please excuse my choice of t-shirts but this is all i could manage to get from my husband, where DID he get that pink t-shirt?!!!
Ok, pick 2 t-shirts
cut up the sides and across the top, both front and back making sure all 4 pieces are the same size , unless you want the side panels smaller.
Sew together alternating the panels. You will notice that you don’t need to sew a hem, bonus! Now, fold over the waistband twice and sew in place (making sure this chanel is wide enough for your elastic to fit through), feed through the elastic and TA DA!!! you have a new skirt
please excuse the photo, and the socks! Hehehehe!

I like the stripes and with the gathering and uneven hem it gives the skirt some good style.

I am a newbie to sewing, and I just joined Wardrobe Refashion, so this is the perfect first project — no patterns to cut out, no guilt if two old t-shirts end up in the rag bin anyway should I mess them up.

great idea! i have to say, though, that these pictures are way too small. for tutorials, it would be great if we could get bigger pictures so that we can see what’s going on. thanks!
