1) I took a XXL shirt, with stretchy fabric.

2) I cut off at that top where the sleeves hit the shirt. I sewed up the sides to
my desired width, making the end bigger than the waist.

3) Using elastic, I put a band on the top.

4) Using the extra fabric from the sleeves, I made one long continuous strip
that was about 1/2″ wide and then ruffled it. I sewed it onto the bottom of
the skirt making a flower.

stores), I cut two rectangles at the width and length that I wanted.

3) I used up the sides and then sewed it onto the shirt.

4) I then made a belt out of fabric and fabric rosettes to add some color.

designs.
