WHEN YOUR SHIRT TURNS INTO A SKIRT – A SIMPLE CLOTHING LIFE-HACK
Making your own skirts just got easier!
Periodically, @mama-pepper will sew clothes for our family. Often, she enjoys making skirts for our little girls. Recently she had an idea. Couldn’t she just turn some of my t-shirts into skirts?
She came up with a simple plan and then checked online. Sure enough, other people had also thought of this idea and were succeeding at turning shirts into skirts.
@mama-pepper figured that if the top of the t-shirt was removed (the part with the sleeves and neck-hole) then by sewing an elastic band around the new top would be all that it takes to transform it into a fully functioning skirt.
@mama-pepper also decided to sew a stitch pattern at the bottom of the skirt too, just to add a little more flair to it.
In the end, Red-Pepper got a new skirt, and since I had two with this pattern, I still have one shirt left that looks like that.
Has anyone else ever tried making skirts this way? If not, will you consider trying it now?
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
Until next time…

cool, I accidently shrunk my shirt the other day and gave it to my 10 yr old son. Now its trophy size!
That's a good use for it!
Great as always! My 7 year old is very excited to try this on her sewing machine.
Give it a go. Let us see how it works out.
Best recycling I have seen in a long time :)
Glad to hear it!

Well done mama-pepper. What next? Use the arms as swaddling clothes for new-pepper? Are the cut off tops big enough for old type cloth nappies?. Poor mama all that extra sewing. But red -pepper looks good in her new dress.
Hmm.. good idea. Let us waste nothing!
You are so creative! Solid stitching job by @mama-pepper as well!
Mama is one talented woman.
Great idea @papa-pepper But I did not sew such skirts.
We had not either, until now.
