#1 don’t stretch the tshirt when you attach the skirt material. Cut the tshirt off just above the waist line. Cut a rectangle of cotton calico or floral fabric, cotton really works best. Cut the rectangle whatever length you want and when folded in half it will be about 4 inches wider than the tshirt. Use the serger to sew the skirt side seam. Then I serge the bottom and use a regular machine to fold over the serged end and just sew it flat with a straight stitch. Turn the skirt and tshirt inside out and serge together, keeping the tshirt material from stretching and gathering the skirt material as you go. The collar can be decorated or no. This is a great way to reuse garage sale tshirts that are still in good condition. I wish I had a picture!

Thanks! I wish you had a pic too. As the guys on here always say, “this thread is worthless without pictures”!! (just kidding). I have never learned how to post pics, because until now, I never wanted to.
