Inspiration Upcycle: Woman's shirt into Girl's skirt!

First of all, I have to say I am no seamstress.  I took one sewing class a long time ago, and so I just kind of    take what I know, and make up the rest.  So please do not look to closely, I know I have a lot of mistakes!  Also Since I was trying to figure out how to make this skirt for the first time on my own, I didn't do a full tutorial.  I will still try to walk you through what I did. I know I found this on someone's blog at one time, but I  couldn't find it when it was time to make it.  So here is my version!

Turn this old shirt into 

a cute new skirt for your little one!

First thing I did was cut the bottom of the shirt, and that part was going to be my skirt.  Next I sewed up the opening of the shirt (where the buttons would open).  I then sewed up the sides so there wasn't much of a high dip on the sides.

Before I added the elastic I sewed the lace along the bottom. 

(The lace I used was from an old baby dress of mine, when I find a picture, I will post it!)

The flower on the skirt was not sewn on the skirt, it was on a clip for my daughters hair

Last step was to add the elastic and sew it together.

Of course I had to make a matching flower for my daughter's hair.  I used the same tutorial I used HERE only this time I used cotton instead of a silk fabric.

I hope to make one more skirt just like this, and when I do I will post a better tutorial for you!  It is pretty easy though, and I am sure an actual seamstress could whip this up in no time!  I will also post totally cute pictures of my daughter wearing her new skirt, when I can get her to sit still for a moment!
