Skirt from old Tshirt

Cut the shirt off under the sleeves. Cut the letters apart. Bleach the letters with a bleach pen (changed them from red/blue to pink/brown). Spell new words. Trim letters to make new ones. I turned A into V and T into L and B into U. Use lining from a matchless glove to make a heart. Dye Tshirt in instant coffee and bake at 200 degrees for 15 min to heat set. Lay out to complete drying overnight. Don't rest it on a pot unless you want a circle in your dried Tshirt to have a circle. Oops. Cut another Tshirt into 5 inch strips. Serge the edges. Ruffle the strips. Put the coffee Tshirt on inside out, pin along your hips, then sew and trim excess. Crochet butterfly (crocheted heart folded in half). Use scraps from ruffle Tshirt to make one inch ruffle for the heart and assemble. Sew heart onto skirt. I used it to cover a small hole in the skirt. Wear skirt.
