Recycling Old T-Shirts – Part 2

Last week I blogged about my stack of beloved t-shirts that I wanted to reuse, and so I thought I'd share another t-shirt recycling project with you.

While scouring the internet for inspiration, I found this T-shirt Skirt Tutorial  and decided this would work wonders.

I used three black t-shirts for this (sorry, I didn’t think to take before photos!): two of the t-shirts were used for the main body of the skirt, and the third (which was an old t-shirt I wasn’t that keen on anyway) I used for the skirt band – I prefer a stretchy band to just using elastic.  


It didn’t take long at all, and the best thing was that I didn’t have to hem it, as I just used the existing hemmed edges of the t-shirts!
