Up the ante. Bright lights, all-night parties, high rollers calculating their odds at the craps table, the rain of coins at the winning slot machine, even the velvet Elvis. This skirt has that Vegas thrill with a high five to L.A. glamour, Chicago soul and New York caché. Oh, forgive me, for I have cinched!

Ingredients:
  • 1 T-shirt
  • Measuring tape
  • Scissors
  • Tailor?s chalk
  • Straight pins
  • Needle
  • 1 safety pin

    Instructions:
  • Lay the t-shirt flat. Cut off the hem just above the stitching and then cut a 14" tube off the bottom.
  • Cut through one side of the tube to make a long rectangle. Add 3" to your waist measurement, and mark that length along the long side of the rectangle, cutting off the excess.
  • Fold the rectangle in half (right sides in, short edges together), pin along the edges, and sew a seam 1" to 1 1/2" from the edge using a running backstitch.
  • Open the seam flat and sew the 1" seam allowance to the skirt with a running stitch or whipstitch to create the drawstring casing.
  • Cut two drawstrings from the rest of the t-shirt and thread one up each casing.
  • Turn the skirt right side out and try it on. Ruche the fabric as desired and tie both drawstring ends in bows.


  • Variations:

    Try using a contrasting color strip from your scrap pile or a ribbon as the drawstring.
