Anyway, when I saw these target' shirts on the clearance rack , I bought several. I bought a 4x so I could have plenty of width for the old hipsters...and they are the same price.
I cut right under the arms straight across the body and set that aside. It then cut several large concentric circles out of the other shirt. I just sewed them on the hemmed edge in two layers.
Depending on the length you need, you could possibly just turn the upper edge into a casing. I added another same size piece of fabric to make additional length for me. i inserted the elastic and sewed that together. I also sewed it down along the sides of the skirt casing. (this is so the elastic only gathers in the back section.)
Just saw this on "Under the Table and Dreaming" SUPER cute, think I have to make one (or 2) thanks for sharing your idea
ReplyDeleteCould you explain how you made the rose? I just can't seem to get it right. I am loving the skirt though!
