Sew a flannel skirt
Continuing last week's inspiration of flannel, I decided to upcycle a button up shirt into a skirt. This is another great way to sport flannel this fall, especially with tights or leggings. The sewing skills for this project are fairly simple! Check out how I made it, below --

Step 1
1) Cut the top portion of the shirt off. Right under the arm is an ideal point to start cutting. Use the lines as a guide!
Step 2
2) Trim/straighten as needed.
Step 3
3) Create folded pleats all along the top. The width of each pleat - and the number of pleats - will depend entirely on where you want the skirt to sit on you, and your personal measurements. Try it one when needed- remember, there's buttons in the front, so you can put it on that way.
Step 4
4) Pin the pleats all around the top.
Step 5
5) Sew right across, along the edge.
Step 6
Keep sewing!
Step 7
6) Pin bias tape along the edge, placing the raw edge of the skirt into the fold.
Step 8
7) Sew!
Step 9
Continue sewing all around.
Step 10
8) Hand sew the snap closures on to the top of the skirt, lining up with the buttons.
