How To: Make a T-Shirt Skirt – Crafting a Green World Sewing Published on July 7th, 2011 | by Karen Lee You know we love de-contructing t-shirts around here at Crafting a Green World. We’ve made items for babies, adorable skirt for girls and we recommended cool memorable ways to repurpose them. How to make a skirt with a t-shirt Making a skirt with a t-shirt is just as easy as making the girl’s skirt if you use the elastic waist method. Let’s upcycle an adult t-shirt into a skirt! Supplies: 1. Directions: Before you start, practice shirring using the scrap fabric from the t-shirt as every fabric and sewing machine is different. To begin, spread out your t-shirt on a flat surface. Next, cut across the shirt below the armpit. Naturally, the bottom hem will be the bottom hem of the skirt. Continue to shir, starting a new row, 1/4″ apart. When you finish a row, go to the opposite end and start a new row. Ta Dah!!

Biscuits and Jam - StumbleUpon A while back, I bought a cute fabric headband at Union Rose (you can see it here and here). I love it, because it keeps my hair out of my face but doesn't give me a headache like normal headbands. Today I used the headband as a pattern and made myself four more. I'm hoping they'll help me look more pulled together after the baby comes and I haven't washed my hair for days. It's a really easy sewing project, so I thought I'd share the steps with you (and if you find my instructions confusing, there are plenty of other tutorials online--for instance, this one and this one). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Voila--you have a headband!

DIY CIRCLE SKIRT 26th July 2012 Another half hour DIY sewing project coming right up! I have such a huge thing for short voluminous circle skirts – and recently tried my hand at making one for myself. Wearing: DIY Circle Skirt, Crop Top designed by me, Vintage Beaded Jacket from London (most treasured vintage piece I own!) 1. I wanted mine a little big so I could add some pleats in the back so I added a few inches to my natural waist. 2. 3. 4. I suggest you use bias binding to do this to get a clean hem – it can be tricky to hem a round edge like this and bias binding is a great way around it. And you’re done! Once again thanks to Jess for the photos!

make something monday :: ombré infinity scarf The ombré trend has stolen my heart this year as it has with so many of you I am sure. I can't resist the subtleness of it, so bohemian and soft. I bought some Rit dye earlier in the summer and had fun experimenting with a few projects and came away with this easy infinity scarf using only dye and an XL white t-shirt. Supplies: Rit dye - I used liquid rubber gloves XL white t-shirt bowl for dying scissors I followed the directions on the dye bottle and used a bowl in the kitchen sink. I then just dipped one half of the shirt into the dye going crosswise not up and down and let it sit for about ten minutes then nudged a little more of the shirt into the dye bath giving it a few minutes again. I set the shirt out to dry in the sun and then went ahead and ran it through the wash to get any excess dye out. Now all that was left to do was to cut off the bottom hem of the shirt and then the top. See that, easy as pie really. Hope you have a great day today, happy Monday friends! linking up here!

A Vintagely Modern Skirt One thing that I LOVE to sew is something vintage mixed with a modern twist. And this skirt is just the ticket…. I based it on a skirt that I pinned months ago. What a fun modern color-blocked skirt was my first thought when I pinned it. I absolutely love how this skirt can look like a modern cute skirt, and then by simply adding a pettiskirt under it…it immediately goes straight back to a lovely era of fashion, especially for little girls. And, here is my version…. {The Vintagely Modern Skirts} And here’s how I made them…. Step #1: Take your waist measurement. Step #2: Measure how long you want your skirt to be. Step #3: Cut your main fabric your length (minus a contrasting band if you are doing the color-blocking) and the triple-waist-measurement. Step #4: Sew the main fabric piece like the picture below. Step #5: Measure and cut a waistband that is four inches wide by your waist measurement plus 2 inches for the buttonhole. Now you are ready to start!!! ~Elizabeth

Simple Elastic Skirt I have made a ton of elastic waist skirts, with pockets, without pockets, with ruffles without ruffles and so on. This is a tutorial on how to make a simple elastic skirt. It is very easy and quick to make, in fact I made two of these during the children's nap-time (one for me and one for my sis) First measure your waist and cut your elastic: Determine how long you want your skirt. To determine the width of the fabric. For example: I cut my elastic at 32 inches, so that times two is 64. Then take your fabric and fold in half with the right sides together: Sew the edges together: Iron the seam that you just sewed open: For the hem, fold a half an inch and iron: Then fold over an inch and iron: Then sew the hem: OK, now the skirt part is done for now, Now grab that elastic you cut and fold in half and sew at a half inch allowance. Then open the elastic and sew both side down like so. OK, now with the elastic and fabric with the right sides together pin the two together. All Done: linkies:
