DIY out-dated tshirt into lovely pencil skirt.

♥ ♥ I updated this with a simpler version and it's perfect for all the special holiday events coming up.  ♥

Supplies: Recycled shirt. Anything that is stretchy: think textures, laces, crochets...etc.
elastic waistband.


The perfect lace pencil skirt all from a thrifted shirt...and comfortable.


Before: this tshirt was outdated and needed a revamp. I loved the pattern of the lace and decided it would be a great pencil skirt.



Cut the sleeves and collar line.



Sew a tube that fits your waist and hip measurements snuggly. Trim the excess from the seams.


Sew the elastic waistband to match your waistline on the skirt.



Top stitch along the edge. Trim an excess fabric.



Add a bow...

  10. Pencil skirts look fab on you, I remember the last skirt you made out of a shirt, it was awesome too. This one is different but also so cool, I love the waist you made with that bow.

  17. Hey, I love this look and have had it bookmarked to try for a loooong time! Was wondering where you found that cute waistband? perhaps scavenged from an old skirt?
