<u><b>No-Sew T-shirt Skirt</b></u><br />
<br /></div>
So, I thought I'd gotten the
idea from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Generation-108-Ways-Transform-T-Shirt/dp/0761137858/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388543210&sr=8-1&keywords=generation+t+book" target="_blank">Generation T</a>, but now I can't find what I specifically did in
there. So...sorry for not giving credit where credit is due, but here
are the steps:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMz0SR9PS057p3xbCMaPfqbTapMSmaLvMwqe80xIuhplvFW5puCn8NZKwI_LlBILjqGCTaKqGBTvwNatK0aDuzzo31_CvIym8fRUuZGU1KulLaCWkOExVp1dffQN0wdjknkhhYXUQ2ARrQ/s1600/IMAG2400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMz0SR9PS057p3xbCMaPfqbTapMSmaLvMwqe80xIuhplvFW5puCn8NZKwI_LlBILjqGCTaKqGBTvwNatK0aDuzzo31_CvIym8fRUuZGU1KulLaCWkOExVp1dffQN0wdjknkhhYXUQ2ARrQ/s320/IMAG2400.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
1. Cut the sleeves and collar off of a T-shirt (since this skirt version doesn't taper the fabric in at the waist at all I recommend using a shirt that fits you rather snugly, or you'll have weird bunched up fabric around your waist). If you'd like a straight edge
at the bottom of the skirt then just cut off the whole section from
under each sleeve (at the armpit) to the other side. I like the look of
little slits at the side, so I didn't cut straight across.<br />
<br />

<br />
2. Cut a hole in the bottom hem of the shirt. The bottom will now become
the waistband. Using a safety pin - or a bodkin - thread 1/4" elastic
or a strip of fabric through the bottom hem. (I used a piece of stretchy
fabric, which gave me a cute bow with some cute dangle-y ties, but also
made the waist super elastic comfy). If you're planning to just put in elastic then you can make the hole on the inside of the shirt hem so that the hole is hidden.<br />

3. Ta-da! It looks a little boxy in this pic, but that's only because my floor has no curves. It's actually pretty flattering for a 5 minute project! :-) Don't forget that this skirt version turns the shirt upside down, so if your T-shirt will look weird upside down then don't do this version. I think the Beats Antique logo looks fine upside down, so I didn't mind it being flipped. :-)
