When I saw this skirt on Instagram last week I KNEW that I had to have it! It was $98 plus shipped! I knew that I could make a LOT of cloths for $98 so I decided to see if I could make it for less than $10. In the end it cost me about $4 in materials.
I wasn’t sure how many old shirts I’d need so I bought 8 from Goodwill. My plaid purchase included shirts and old lounge pants in red, grey and black.
It was pretty easy to make a quilt from the shirts and sew a simple skirt. The original version had too much fabric to be comfortable for me.
With a bit of tailoring, I made the skirt less blousy and added a pocket.
After the skirt was complete I found that I had a LOT of scraps left. Here are the projects that I made from the scraps:
Not to shabby for an $8 investment!!!

I like your creations better than the originals. Did you add linings to any of the skirts, though? Thanks.
I sewed down nearly all of the interior seams, but I did not line the skirts.
