Repurposed T-shirt Skirt

As you all have noticed I have been doing some sewing lately.  As I was digging though my material I found an old t-shirt of mine that I really like but it was shorter than I liked but Maddie loved it.  I was sitting there debating on whether to cut it or not and Mad was sitting beside me saying, ‘Do it!  Cut it!  Cut it momma!’  So.. I cute it.  I laid it down and just cut under the arms of the shirt.  I just made a casing on the top and for the elastic and that was it.  Since I didn’t cut the bottom I didn’t have to worry about hemming it since it still had the original hem.  It did turn out pretty cute.  She really likes it!

Repurposed jean skirt

So yesterday I started to go through some of my material and I found a pair of my jeans and a pair of Maddie’s that I had ripped the inseam out of, intending to make into those jean skirts where you add a triangle piece of material in the middle.  

Maddie’s jeans she couldn’t wear anymore, they were too tight around the waist, but she loved the design that was on them.  So, I just cut up my jeans, used both leg sections to make a fuller skirt, then I cut out ‘patches’ from her old skirt and she helped me lay them out on the skirt.  I just stitched them on, of course with hot pink thread, and I left the bottom unhemmed so that when we wash it and over time, it will fray.  She loves the skirt!!  I think it turned out pretty cute myself.  :)
