Do you have too many t-shirts in your closet? You, given the ever-changing fashion trends, might not be wearing some of them anymore. Give life to some of your old shirts by tweaking them to form other types of clothing. One of your best options is to transform your unused t-shirts into skirts.

A t-shirt skirt is edgy, bearing a good combination of creativity and novelty. You can wear it to the mall or even to a hip joint like a night club. The casual look of the garment is quite popular with teens and young adults, which makes it a must-have, if you’re in the party scene. With a well-designed shirt, sewing equipment and some sewing prowess, you can create a stylish t-shirt skirt.

The Single Shirt Skirt
The single shirt skirt is the t-shirt skirt’s basic design. It is a popular choice for youngsters, since you can simply create one, the moment an item in your closet catches your attention. The procedure is pretty straightforward, so you should not have any trouble making the skirt. If you own a sewing machine, you can probably stitch together a skirt in less than an hour.

Materials Used:
•t-shirt, preferably with a printed design
•scissors
•marker
•sewing needle
•sewing thread
•pins
•yardstick
•ribbon or long shoestring
•sewing machine (optional)

Procedure:
1.Pick a t-shirt with a nice print in your closet.

2.Cut the shirt across, an inch below the print, creating two halves. The top half should contain the t-shirt’s print.

3.Once done, turn the bottom half upside down then position it above the top half.

4.With both halves lined up, mark a straight line along the outside edge of both sides. The line represents your skirt’s width.

5.Cut through the markings you made, which includes the sleeves and probably a portion of the sides. Check the sides. Make sure that they are straight.

6.Turn the top half (the half with the printed design) inside out.

7.Stitch its sides shut.

8.Cut the potions beside the collar, opening the sheet’s top portion.

9.Insert the bottom half in the opening, just beyond the collar.

10.Use a set of pins to connect both halves. This shows you a preview of the finished product. You can cut off the top regions, if you find the skirt too long.

11.With both halves pinned, stitch them together, near the location of the pins.

12.Get two ribbon pieces or shoestrings that are a few inches longer than the skirt’s width. Position the strings on the skirt’s topmost portion. They should be one half-inch apart or less.

13.Enclose the strings with the skin’s top portion.

14.Stitch a hemline right below the first string then make a second one beneath the second string.

If you find the strings too tacky, you can make an incision at the skirt’s top-middle portion then affix a zipper and a button. Add designs like patches or sewn patterns to give your skirt more attitude. You can even change the cut of your skirt, once you get tired of its appearance.
