I found in a book called Generation T 108 Ways to transfrom a T-shirt. I had bought it at Micheals
-
1
Divide your waist measurement by 6 and the add 1(x). (Example: for a 30" wasit, divide by 6 and to get 5" add 1 to get 6".) Lay the T-shirt flat and cut a 24"long (slighhtly trapezoidal) strip from each one, using the measurement x for the width of the top of eachstrip. The width of the bottom of each strip should be 1 1/2" wider than the top.
-
2
Arrange the strips next to each other in the order you would like them to apper on the skirt and pin them together along the long edges (rights sides together).
-
3
Sew along the pinned edges 1/2"from the edges using a running backstitch. Remove the pins and turn the skrit right side out.
-
4
Measure four and half " up from the bottom of the shirt remnants and cut a strip through both layers as shown. Trim the strip until it is 1" longer than your wasit measurement
-
5
Sew the ends of the strip together (right sides in0 1/2" from the edges,using a running backstitch
-
6
fold the top edge of the tube down to meet the bottom,wrong sides together. You should have a double-layer tube about 2 1/4" wide
-
7
place the tupe around the outside top of the skirt, linning up the unfinished edges with the top edge of the skirt. pin in place.
-
8
sew along the pinned edges,close to the edge using a zigzag stitch oe whipstitch. Remove the pins
-
9
pull on the skrit and head for the open road!

I got the book from a friend of mine and I LOVE it!! I have weekly craft nights with a friend of mine and we just make stuff out of the book (mostly the skirts)and we "debut" our creations on a night out!
