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.
MATERIALS:
-
old adult-size t-shirt
-
elastic for waistband
-
sewing machine
-
matching thread
-
scissors
STEPS:
-
Take an old (adult) t-shirt. Cut off the bottom half at the length you want (including extra allowance for inserting the elastic).
-
Measure the elastic around your child’s waist.
-
Add elastic (see this post if you need instructions on how to do this).
-
Give to your (hopefully ecstatic) preschooler. This is Emma’s new favorite article of clothing…
