Although I'm no good at sewing, I'm hoping to attempt some hand-style to revamp old shirts. However, here is my first no-sew project, Pillow Talk: http://theforgottenbrush.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-first-no-sew-project.html Love it!! Thank you so much for sharing these great tuts. ~Laura Was so happy to receive your book “Beyond Fashion.” Although I’m no good at sewing, I’m hoping to attempt some hand-style to revamp old shirts.

I followed most of the steps from Road Trip but measured one big panel for the front and divided the blue t-shirts for the sides and back of the skirt. I used the external seam (wrong sides together) from Snip, Crackle, Pop! create texture. For the skirt’s hem, I left the bottom of the t-shirts attached. Lesson learned - prewash your fabric before you begin to cut. If you don't, the fabric might shrink at different lengths and then the skirt will not fall at the same length. Yes, this did happen to me because I had never washed the batik shirt so I had to go back and make alterations once it dried. Eek!
