Renovate old shirts and give your daughter a handmade DIY love skirt

Shirts, like T-shirts, are the most common clothes for men, and they always buy a few more every year. Don’t just throw away the discarded shirts. You can recycle them to make a handmade skirt for your beloved daughter. This is probably the warmest thing in the world. Although the skirt made in this way is simple and plain, it is more precious than any expensive clothes...

Materials and Tools:

Scissors, elastic bands, sewing markers, one of Dad’s old shirts, and a household sewing machine.

If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can sew by hand with a needle and thread. However, sewing larger skirts requires more work.

Preparation method:

Use the original placket and buttons to make a new skirt. Cut out the shape of the skirt and sleeves. Sew the two sides of the skirt together and sew elastic on the neckline and cuffs. Success!
