Quick and easy skirt tutorial

This is a very simple tutorial for a quick and easy skirt for a toddler or preschooler that can be made from an adult t-shirt.

• elastic for waistband
• sewing machine
• matching thread

3. Add elastic (see this post if you need instructions on how to do this).
4. Give to your (hopefully ecstatic) preschooler. This is Emma’s new favorite article of clothing…
