Hello friends and readers of My Li'l Pumpkin Patch! I'm Marie and I blog over at Lil Pink Pocket. I'm so excited to be here today! Thanks Steph for swapping blogs with me today!
I am a wife of 8 years to my husband Tim and stay at home mommy of two adorable little girls, Deni is three and Capri is 16 months. I'm a do it yourself kind of girl and love creating! Over at Lil Pink Pocket you'll find a little bit of everything from sewing, furniture makeovers, recipes and everything in between! I'm excited to share a skirt tutorial with you today! I made similar skirts out of my husbands old button up for both my girls last week and you can see those here. My three year old is growing like crazy so I was excited when I came across the idea of making skirts out of button up shirts. I raided my DI pile and found a few. I hope you like it as much as I do! Enjoy!
What you need: -sewing machine -matching thread -button up shirt -elastic measured to the size you need
Isn't that the most clever idea?! I absolutely love it! And what a great way to use your DI pile. FYI, for those of you who don't know, DI (Deseret Industries) is a thrift store. :) It makes me want a daughter even more so I can make one of these!
Marie has a lot of other great projects on her blog that you should go check out!

So going to try this!
Super cute and you make it look easy to do. That's a project i've got to try :-)
P.S. I'm your newest follower and would love it for you to swing back around sometime :-)
I LOVE this idea, Marie! I like to sew, but avoid buttonholes like the plague, so this is perfect for my little princesses and me. :~) Thanks for sharing!!
That's awesome! I was looking for some easy little girl skirts to make for my baby sister, so thanks!
This is so CUTE!
So cute! I can see this using a cute men's pinstripe shirt. Guess it's time for me to go thrifting and get in on the menswear trend.
so very cute, I wish I had someone to make it for.
